Matter is now in the hands of the British Transport Police.
An unauthorised change to the Network Rail landing page was the cause of last night’s public wifi cyber incident.
In a statement, provider Telent said it has been working with Network Rail and other stakeholders and through investigations with Global Reach, the provider of the wifi landing page. The companies determined that an “unauthorised change was made to the Network Rail landing page” and the matter is now subject to criminal investigations by the British Transport Police.
No personal data has been affected and as a precaution, Telent temporarily suspended all use of Global Reach services while verifying that no other Telent customers were impacted.
