A Nottingham-based telematics business has confirmed that it suffered a cyber-attack last month.
In an update to the London Stock Exchange yesterday, Microlise said confirmed a cyber-attack took place on 31st October, and confirmed that the vast majority of customer systems were back online, with some remaining customers conducting their own security verifications before enabling users.
“The company would like to reiterate [that] no customer systems data was compromised,” it said. “The company is continuing to assess the impact of the incident. However, the Board still does not anticipate any material adverse impact to its trading forecasts and financial position for FY24.
“The company has notified international authorities regarding the exfiltration of corporate data from its HQ and continues to work with law enforcement regarding the incident.”
According to The Record, Microlise had previously told the stock exchange that “some limited employee data has been impacted by the incident.” No figure has been given for the number of individuals impacted by the breach.
