Lloyd's of London has reset its IT systems and is probing a possible cyberattack against it after detecting worrisome network behavior this week.

"Lloyd's has detected unusual activity on its network and we are investigating the issue," a spokesperson told The Register on Thursday.

"As a precautionary measure, we are resetting the Lloyd's network and systems. All external connectivity has been turned off, including Lloyd's delegated authority platforms."

Word of the weird Lloyd's network activity comes shortly after a warning from Kyiv that Russia plans to conduct "Massive cyberattacks" on Ukraine and its allies' critical infrastructure and power grids.

The odd network traffic at the insurance souk follows several high-profile cyberattacks over the past couple months that hit a major US healthcare network, the Los Angeles Unified School District, Uber and Rockstar Games.
