Transport for London 2024 hack: Around 10 million had their data stolen, says report
Approximately 10 million people had their personal data compromised in a cyberattack on Transport for London (TfL) in 2024, making it one of the largest data breaches in the UK, according to the BBC report on Friday, adding that it arrived at the figure after examining data from an anonymous source who had obtained a copy of the full TfL database.
The breach, which occurred between August 29 and September 6, 2024, did not disrupt transport operations across TfL’s networks but led to three months of interruptions to its online services, reportedly hitting the company with tens of millions of pounds.
