Dyfed-Powys Police cops to cyberattack, staff data potentially nicked

Dyfed-Powys Police has revealed it was hit by a cyberattack that knocked some of its systems offline, with investigators now trying to establish whether the intruders got their hands on staff data during the break-in. The Welsh police force said it identified the incident on September 14 and that it caused disruption to some non-emergency systems. Emergency policing remained operational throughout, according to the force, while its 999 and 101 telephone services were unaffected.
