TfL ‘dealing with ongoing cyber security incident’

Transport for London (TfL) has said it is ‘currently dealing with an ongoing cyber security incident’.

In an email sent to registered users yesterday evening (of which I’m one), TfL said there was no evidence that any customer data has been compromised, nor has there been any impact on the agency’s services.

Sources disclosed to the BBC that they have been asked to work from home if possible for the time being and that it is TfL’s backroom HQ systems which are mainly affected.

Posting on X (formerly Twitter), TfL said it had reported the cyber attack to the National Crime Agency and the National Cyber Security Centre.

Shashi Verma, TfL’s chief technology officer, said, “We have introduced a number of measures to our internal systems to deal with an ongoing cybersecurity incident. The security of our systems and customer data is very important to us and we will continue to assess the situation throughout and after the incident.

“Although we’ll need to complete our full assessment, at present there is currently no evidence that any customer data has been compromised. There is currently no impact to TfL services and we are working closely with the National Crime Agency and the National Cyber Security Centre to respond to the incident.”
