Cyber Crime Advocate in Delhi India .<\/p>\n

Hackney Council is to spend hundreds of thousands of pounds more than planned as part of work to recover from a cyber attack in 2020. <\/a><\/p>\n

Councillor Robert Chapman said the borough’s “financial predicament remains serious”, with the overall total overspend for the accounting year at about \u00a337m.<\/p>\n

The council’s accounts show that \u00a3344,000 has gone towards hiring more agency staff, partly to manage a backlog caused by the attack.<\/p>\n

A further \u00a3413,000 is being spent on IT consultants with “cybersecurity knowledge”.<\/p>\n

Nefarious actors’<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

In January 2021 a criminal group posted personal details of council staff and residents on the dark web following a ransomware attack three months earlier.<\/p>\n

In July of this year, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) rebuked the local authority<\/a> for a “lack of proper security and processes to protect personal data”.<\/p>\n

Stephen Bonner, deputy commissioner at the ICO, called the breach a “clear and avoidable error” by the council, after the regulator found “simple mistakes like having dormant accounts where the username and password are the same”.<\/p>\n

“Whilst nefarious actors may always exist, the council failed to effectively implement sufficient measures that could have better protected their systems and data from cyber-attacks,” Mr Bonner added.<\/p>\n

“Time and time again, we see breaches that would not have happened if such mistakes were avoided,” he said.<\/p>\n

Responding at the time, Hackney Council disagreed with the ICO’s findings, saying it had not been in breach of its security obligations.<\/p>\n

In 2023, the council announced it would purchase a new “off-the-shelf” housing system to deal with ongoing tech problems following the hack.<\/p>\n

The fallout from the cyber-attack has exacerbated the “challenging financial environment” for the borough, council reports state, especially due to a real-terms fall in government funding of almost 40% since 2010.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
