London Transit Retracts Data Theft Claim After Hack

Transport for London continues to manage a cyberattack affecting digital services, while the security of customer data remains uncertain after modifications to its public statements

Transport for London (TfL), the government entity responsible for operating the U.K. capital’s transit system, is currently experiencing its second week of a cyberattack.

Even though the transit system is still operational and unaffected by the cyber incident, certain TfL online and digital consumer services are currently unavailable.

TfL stated in a concise update on its cyber incident page that it is still addressing an “ongoing” incident.

The update replaced the line that previously stated, “There is no evidence that any customer data has been compromised,” with, “The security of our systems and customer data is of the utmost importance to us.”

On Friday, TechCrunch inquired whether TfL possesses the technical capabilities, including records, to ascertain whether customer or employee data was exfiltrated from its systems.

Upon being contacted by TechCrunch on Tuesday, a spokesperson declined to respond and had no immediate comment regarding the update.
