"RBKC said the breach was discovered after detecting unusual activity early on Monday and that it took "all necessary steps" to shut down and isolate systems to make them as secure as possible. The authority said it believed the breach "only impacts historical data", adding: "We still have access to this information, it has not been stolen, but it is possible it could end up in the public domain.""
"RBKC said it was checking whether the compromised data included personal or financial details of residents, customers and service users, but warned the process would take time. The council told the Local Democracy Reporting Service that it took cyber security seriously and spent more than 12m annually on IT and security systems. With advice from the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), RBKC is urging residents, customers and service users to be extra vigilant when receiving calls, emails or text messages."
Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC) experienced a cyber attack in which some data was copied and taken away. RBKC detected unusual activity early on Monday and shut down and isolated systems, taking what it described as all necessary steps to secure networks. The authority believes the breach only impacts historical data and states it still has access to that information, though it may end up in the public domain. The Met Police received a referral from Action Fraud and has begun inquiries with no arrests. RBKC is checking whether personal or financial details were compromised, informed the ICO, and sought NCSC advice while urging vigilance.
