15 Oct 2025 Capita plc und Capita Pension Solutions LimitedICO: £14 million against Capita after ransomware attack affecting 6.6 million people United KingdomData breaches and data security €16.1m

In March 2023, an employee unintentionally downloaded malicious files; although an alert was triggered after ten minutes, the device was only isolated after 58 hours. Attackers stole around one terabyte of data on 6.6 million people (including pension data and criminal record information). Fines imposed by the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO): £8 million against Capita plc and £6 million against Capita Pension Solutions.

Security alerts need binding response times and an adequately staffed SOC – known vulnerabilities must be remedied across the group.
