Capita is the largest outsourcing company in the UK and counts among it’s contracts the Ministry of Defence’s nuclear submarine training simulators, has reported it has suffered a “cyber incident”.
The nature of the incident has not been disclosed but it appears to have been targeted against Microsoft 365 apps, with staff being told that passwords were incorrect, when they were not.
Your take away from this, is make sure your team is well trained in the use of their Microsoft login credentials and establish a protocol for when things do not work as expected.
