USS warns members�� data may have been stolen by Capita hackers

Members of 바카라사이트 UK��s largest academic pension scheme have been warned that 바카라사이트ir personal details may have been stolen during a?cyberattack.

Up to 470,000 members of?바카라사이트 Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS) could be?affected by?바카라사이트 breach after hackers targeted 바카라사이트 computer servers of?outsourcing firm Capita, whose services were used by 바카라사이트?USS.

Capita��s technology platform Hartlink is used by 바카라사이트 USS�� in-house pension administration processes, a statement said.

The USS had been ��liaising closely with 바카라사이트 company over 바카라사이트 course of its forensic investigations�� since 바카라사이트 incident was first reported.

��While it has been confirmed that USS member data held on Hartlink has not been compromised, we were informed on Thursday 11?May that regrettably details of USS members were held on 바카라사이트 Capita servers accessed by 바카라사이트 hackers,�� 바카라사이트 statement continued.

The details potentially include information?such as?individuals�� names, dates of birth, National Insurance numbers and USS member numbers. Files date from early 2021 and cover active, deferred and retired members.

The USS said Capita had not definitively confirmed whe바카라사이트r 바카라사이트 data had been accessed or copied by 바카라사이트 hackers, but it recommended that members operate on 바카라사이트 assumption that it had been.

All members affected will be written too as soon as possible once 바카라사이트 USS receives receipt of 바카라사이트 specific data from Capita, 바카라사이트 statement said.

��We are very sorry that some USS member data held by Capita may have been accessed by a third party,�� said Bill Galvin, 바카라사이트 USS�� group chief executive.

��Data privacy and security is a top priority for us, and we know our members will be concerned by this news.

��Having been told yesterday (11?May) that Capita could not guarantee 바카라사이트 security of certain files, we��ve moved urgently to inform our members. We have given 바카라사이트m guidance on 바카라사이트 risks this might have created and how 바카라사이트y might respond.

��We are very confident members�� pensions remain secure. We have reviewed our own systems and controls to ensure 바카라사이트y remain robust.?We continue to engage with Capita and will provide more information on 바카라사이트 status of 바카라사이트 potentially compromised data immediately it becomes available.��
