The British Horseracing Authority (BHA) has reported a ransomware incident that was identified late last week, prompting the temporary closure of its London office. Staff are now working remotely while the BHA investigates the incident, which appears to be confined to internal systems and data. Despite this disruption, the authority has assured stakeholders that race days will continue as scheduled. They are working closely with external experts and law enforcement to address the situation and restore systems securely.
"We recently identified and began investigating an IT incident. We are working at pace with external specialists to determine what happened in more detail and safely restore our systems."
"The delivery of racedays has continued as normal and will continue to do so. We have informed our colleagues, core industry stakeholders and law enforcement."
