Royal Mail has told customers to stop sending items overseas after a cyber attack has caused severe disruption.
The company said it is experiencing 'severe service disruption' to its international export services following the cyber incident. A statement said it was temporarily unable to despatch export items including letters and parcels to overseas destinations.
Royal Mail said: “We have asked customers temporarily to stop submitting any export items into the network while we work hard to resolve the issue. Some customers may experience delay or disruption to items already shipped for export.
