The UK’s Communications Commissioner’s Office, a data protection watchdog, said it would investigate the case. Two other British security organizations, including the National Cyber ​​Security Center and the National Crime Agency, are cooperating with the aim of understanding the dimensions of the impact of this incident.
Royal Mail had a bad year in terms of business last year, losing millions of pounds in revenue due to reduced mail volumes and employee strikes over working conditions and wages.
The British Union of Communications Workers, which represents more than 115,000 Royal Mail employees, plans to launch new protests soon.
The cyberattack on Britain’s most important postal company is the latest in a growing list of high-profile cyber security incidents in the UK in recent months.
In recent weeks, it has been reported that the Twitter accounts of at least two senior ministers of the British government have been hacked, and the “Guardian” magazine reported last month that it was the target of what it called a “serious incident in the field of information technology”. According to Reuters, this publication was the target of a ransomware attack.
