Lloyd’s of London cyberattack – says no evidence found of data compromise

(qlmbusinessnews.com via uk.reuters.com — Tue, 11th Oct 2022) London, UK —

 Lloyd's of London said on Monday that its investigation into a possible cyberattack had found no evidence of data compromise.

“The investigation has concluded that no evidence of any compromise was found and as such Lloyd's has been advised that its network services can now be restored,” a company spokesperson said in an email.

The commercial insurance market detected unusual activity on its network, it said last week, putting companies on high alert for intrusions as a result of a conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

“Lloyd’s has detected unusual activity on its network and we are investigating the issue,” a Lloyd's spokesperson said by email, adding that the market was resetting the network.

“We have informed market participants and relevant parties, and we will provide more information once our investigations have concluded.”

Lloyd's, which has been vocal in its support for sanctions against Russia, declined to comment on the possible source of the attack.

Around 100 insurance syndicates operate at Lloyd's.

Several of the syndicates offer cyber insurance against such attacks.
