Hundreds of pension funds have been asked to check whether cybercriminals stole data during a major hack by the UK’s largest outsourcer.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Pensions Inspectorate has asked systems using Capita to assess whether pensioners’ personal information is at risk.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

After the hack, information stored on behalf of some customers began circulating online. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

They contained passport photos, home addresses, and even floor plans of houses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The pension watchdog said Sunday it has written to hundreds of pension funds that hire Capita to manage their payment systems, asking them to “determine if there is any risk to their system’s data.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

A pension regulator spokesman added, “We take IT security and the risk of cyberattacks very seriously.” Capita said only a small number of its computer servers were compromised.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In a statement, it said it has also been in regular contact with the authorities since the hack and will update them on the progress of the investigation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The company provides IT services to its businesses, which include running the London Toll Zone, collecting the BBC license fee and overseeing training for the Royal Navy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It is also a leading pensions advisor in the UK, providing advisory services to 150 pension schemes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
