Capita expects to take a financial hit of as much as £25m as a result of a cyber-attack that began in March, pushing the outsourcing group to a pre-tax loss of almost £68m for the first half of the year.
The group is still recovering from the attack by the Black Basta ransomware group, which hacked its Microsoft Office 365 software and accessed the personal data of staff working for the company and dozens of clients.
