Data breach at Banham Poultry Plant in UK

Banham Poultry, based in Attleborough, said criminals had remotely accessed its system in the early hours of 18 August.
In an email sent to staff, seen by the BBC, the company said information such as National Insurance numbers, copies of passports and bank details were accessed. The plant immediately shut down its systems and "engaged external forensic specialists" following the cyber attack. "We are not aware of anyone's information being used maliciously, or of any individual suffering any detriment as a result of the incident," the email from the company's HR department said.
