7 May 2026 South Staffordshire Plc und South Staffordshire Water PlcICO: almost £1 million against water supplier South Staffordshire after cyber attack €1.12m
In 2020, malware entered the water supplier's network via a phishing e-mail and remained undetected for around 20 months; in 2022, attackers obtained administrator rights and stole data on 633,887 people, which ended up on the dark web. The UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) criticised, among other things, monitoring of only 5% of the IT environment, outdated software such as Windows Server 2003 and a lack of vulnerability and patch management.
Utilities in critical infrastructure must also monitor their entire IT estate and replace legacy systems – an attack must not only come to light through performance problems.
