The UK’s leading payroll provider has confirmed eight of its customers, including British Airways and Boots, have been impacted by a cyber attack.
The hack, in which staff’s personal information including names, addresses, and banking details may have been compromised, has suspected links to a Russian-speaking cybercrime gang, according to a report in The Telegraph.
The incident relates to a flaw in a piece of software called MOVEit Transfer, used by thousands of companies globally to transfer files, which could be exploited by cyber criminals. Companies using the software were urged last week to take immediate action.
