"Attacks on public infrastructure such as this can be hugely disruptive and lead to severe consequences for local communities and national systems."
The agency had originally claimed that no customer data was accessed in the attack, but the situation evolved as some customer data was accessed, including names, contact details, and bank account numbers.
The unnamed 17-year-old male was arrested on Sept. 5 in Walsall, and was detained on suspicion of Computer Misuse Act offenses. After questioning, he was released.
