   Just over 5k people are suing Capita at the High Court over their ransomware data breach. Discovery on this one should be incredible.

     Capita are saying, regarding their court case, that there is no evidence that data stolen was publicly available. They may want to tell the people who were directly impacted. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/how-hackers-are-recruiting-on-the-dark-web-mpl2hvsss

     It’s been almost a year since the #Capita ransomware incident began. Here’s how the new CEO describes it in their yearly update.

     There’s now some careful rewording around data exfiltration and “recovery activities” of said data.

     The exact amount they book for incident response and recovery is £25.3m, and they do not mention if insurance will cover. Overall the business has booked a £106.6m loss for the year.

     #Capita cut the pension business out of their operational KPIs, citing the impact of the ransomware incident.

     #Capita’s new CEO has refused to say if they paid Black Basta ransomware group last year (they did). https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/capita-in-the-red-as-more-cuts-announced-mrs9gkx97

     @GossiTheDog bizarre to me that the reporter didn't cite the ransomware payment as something to ask the CEO on the record if they dispute. you can't dispute something that happened.

     @GossiTheDog it doesn't matter when you've got the CEO in front of you 'willing' (air quotes) to answer questions. you just have to ask the right questions!
