London Transport Agency withdraws claim there is ‘no evidence’ of customer data being stolen after hack
The cyberattack hitting Transport for London (TfL), the federal government body that runs the UK capital’s public transport system, is now entering its second week. While the general public transport system stays operational and unaffected by the cyber incident, some of TfL’s online and digital customer service services remain offline.
In a brief update on website dedicated to cyber incidentsTfL said it was still coping with the “ongoing” incident. The update removed a line that previously said “there is no evidence that any customer data has been compromised” and replaced it with “the security of our systems and customer data is very important to us.”
TechCrunch asked TfL on Friday whether the organisation had technical measures, comparable to logs, to find out whether any customer or worker data had been stolen from its systems. A spokesperson declined to reply on the time and had no immediate comment on the update when contacted by TechCrunch on Tuesday.
