TfL cyber security incident, September 2024.

« 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.

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.

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!

I got that email yesterday too and another today that starts "Following our email to you yesterday (2 September) about the proposed changes to bus routes 45, 59 and 118 ......."

Well I didn't receive that email. Could it be the cyber attack? Tongue
