UK CYBER ATTACKS - Got An Email today - Cyberattack in UK on businesses

Dear customer,



Please find below a status update on the previously communicated cyber-attack to the Brookson Group.



Our digital forensic partners are now well underway combing through the Brookson Group Infrastructure to ensure a safe removal of the cyber-attack is completed as quickly as possible. The output of this activity is the production of a safe road map detailing the reactivation of our infrastructure, and although this is a very slow and methodical process it is vital to ensure the continued protection of our customer and supplier data. No data has been extracted from the Brookson Group network.



As it stands, we do not currently have the detailed timeline and how that translates to operational services, but we will share this as soon as we are in receipt of it.



In addition to this email, we are also ensuring these updates are shared across all the Brookson Group social channels to make it as easy as possible to receive updates for our customers and suppliers.



Just to confirm from my previous update, the Brookson telephony service is an IP hosted system so the disconnection of the Brookson network to the outside world is why our phone lines are not working, emails are protected from this disruption. Our Connect, WorkforceManager and IR35 portals are also disconnected as a result of our precautionary measures.



We are contacting all our recruitment agency partners and have contingency plans in place for payroll services in case the delays are longer than anticipated.



We are very touched by the sentiment of our customers and the industry in general in terms of the offerings of support for dealing with this debilitating, malicious attack and we will of course share our defence strategy with any future impacted parties once fully resolved.


Please use [email protected] for any urgent correspondence.



We thank you for your support and understanding and we will provide further updates throughout the day.





Andrew Fahey
