Newcastle-based transport company Go-Ahead Group has announced that it has fallen victim to a cyber attack.
The company, which runs Go North East buses, has said that it is "managing a cyber security incident" after "unauthorised activity was detected on its network on Monday. A spokesperson for Go-Ahead said there was "no indication that any customer data has been compromised."
As well as the service Go-Ahead runs in our region, it is the largest bus operator in London, and also runs services elsewhere in England, including East Anglia and the South. Go-Ahead also runs train operator Govia Thameslink Railway in the capital, a joint venture with Keolis, but said that this was unaffected as it runs on a different system.
