Capita has admitted data was stolen during a Cyber attack that disrupted council services.

The firm is a major player in outsourced services, with clients including a number of local authorities.

In an update on the incident, Capita said that cybercriminals had access to about 4% of its servers for nine days between 22 March and 31 March, with ‘some evidence of limited data exfiltration,’ which ‘might include customer, supplier or colleague data’.
