London's biggest bus operator under cyberattack, operations disrupted

United Kingdom citizens are braced for more delays after the London’s largest bus operator revealed it has been hit by a cyber security incident.

Newcastle-based transportation group Go-Ahead operates multiple services in the South, South West, London, North West, East Anglia, East Yorkshire and its native North East. It is London’s largest bus company, operating over 2400 buses in the capital and employing more than 7000 staff.

Go-Ahead shared a statement with the London Stock Exchange indicating “unauthorized activity” had been discovered on its network yesterday.

Upon becoming aware of the incident, Go-Ahead immediately engaged external forensic specialists and has taken precautionary measures with its IT infrastructure whilst it continues to investigate the nature and extent of the incident and implement its incident response plans.

Go-Ahead will continue to assess the potential impact of the incident but confirms that there is no impact on UK or International rail services which are operating normally.
