cyberattack on telematics company Microlise has disrupted British prison van systems, disabling vehicle tracking and panic alarms. Despite the severity, there's no evidence of criminal exploitation.
In an updated statement on Wednesday, Microlise confirmed that the attackers may have accessed employee data
but said it is “confident that no customer systems data has been compromised.”
Microlise added it “has been bringing services back online and currently expects this to continue over the coming days with the services essentially back to normal by the end of next week.”
