Belgian HR giant SD Worx was forced to shut down its IT infrastructure for its UK and Ireland services after a cyber attack.
HR and payroll management firm SD Worx shut down its IT systems for its UK and Ireland services after a cyber attack. The company employs more than 7,000 HR professionals and serves over 5.2 million employees every month. The company claims a client base of over 82,000.
The UK and Ireland branch disclosed a security breach and began notifying its customers.
“Our security team has discovered malicious activities in our hosted data centre last night. We have taken immediate action and have preventively isolated all systems and servers to mitigate any further impact. As a result, there is currently no access to our systems, which we deeply regret of course,” reads the security breach notification sent by the company to UK and Ireland customers, as reported by BleepingComputer.
