Deloitte: Hacking

Question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, on what date the Government was made aware of the Deloitte cyber attack.

Answer

Deloitte notified the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) to a cyber incident affecting their US
operations in September 2017.

Based on current information, there is no indication of impact to the UK branch of the organisation,
which operates a separate infrastructure to their American counterparts. The NCSC are working
with partners to better understand the threat and identify any mitigation measures.
