Capita PLC on Monday said it suffered a cyberattack, though it noted it has seen no evidence of customer data being affected. The outsourcing company said the incident impacted its access to Microsoft Office 365 applications. It meant services to some customers were disrupted, ‘though the majority of our client services remained in operation’. ‘Our IT security monitoring capabilities swiftly alerted us to the incident, and we quickly invoked our established and practised technical crisis management protocols. Immediate steps were taken to successfully isolate and contain the issue. The issue was limited to parts of the Capita network and there is no evidence of customer, supplier or colleague data having been compromised,’ Capita said. ‘Working in collaboration with our specialist technical partners, we have restored Capita colleague access to Microsoft Office 365 and we are making good progress restoring remaining client services in a secure and controlled manner.’ Capita shares were 1.2% higher at 37.04 pence each in London on Monday morning.
