Title: TfL cyber security incident, September 2024. Post by: JayMac on September 02, 2024, 20:52:45 I've just received an email from TfL about a cyber security incident they are currently dealing with.
Quote Cyber security incident We are currently dealing with an ongoing cyber security incident. At present, there is no evidence that any customer data has been compromised and there has been no impact on TfL services. The security of our systems and customer data is very important to us, and we have taken immediate action to prevent any further access to our systems. We are working closely with the relevant government agencies to respond to the incident. We will update you further when the incident has been resolved. https://tfl.gov.uk/campaign/cyber-security-incident?cid=email_FINAL_TFLU369_Security_update-CTA_text_website Title: Re: TfL cyber security incident, September 2024. Post by: Ralph Ayres on September 03, 2024, 11:02:31 The apparent lack of any impact (TfL website running, TfL able to email out to their mailing list, no impact on services and no evidence of customer data being compromised) left me a little baffled. I have now though spotted that I can't log in to my Oyster account, instead being told "We're doing maintenance for contactless" which it presumably defaults to in the event of any problem.
TfL office staff have I gather been asked to work from home if possible, though as a former employee the remote access was ropey at the best of times so good luck with that!

Well I didn't receive that email. Could it be the cyber attack? :P Title: Re: TfL cyber security incident, September 2024. Post by: Mark A on September 23, 2024, 16:56:00 Article: TfL still wrestling with the impact of this.

Quote Oyster and contactless customers - online journey history is currently unavailable through any of our platforms Quote We're currently unable to issue refunds for incomplete pay as you go journeys made using contactless, so always remember to touch in and out. Oyster customers can self-serve online ...so I have no way to verify what they charge me is correct and if it is incorrect then I wont be refunded?

You can check you contactless payment card via you banks app to see what you have paid. TfL do say "currently unable to" and not "will never be able to" make refunds This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
