In the UK, hackers carried out a cyber attack on the Pension Fund, stealing the data of several employees after using an external data transfer service, Bloomberg reports.
Hackers were found to have accessed some of the fund’s data through the GoAnywhere translation service, which is used for secure data transfer.
According to foundation spokeswoman Jenny Peters, the stolen information was not related to the institution’s members or retirees. Affected employees were provided with support in the form of Experian Monitoring Service.
In turn, the group claiming CI0p published a message on its website on March 23, listing the Pension Fund as one of the latest victims. The gang uses consumer software to encrypt victims’ computers to make the devices impossible to access, and then demands payment to unlock the files. СІ0p threatens to publish the stolen information on the Web.
Recall that pro-Russian hackers attacked Italian government websites.
Earlier it was reported about a cyber attack on the website of the Polish tax service.
