Security News > 2023 > August > UK Electoral Commission Hacked

The UK Electoral Commission discovered last year that it was hacked the year before.

That's fourteen months between the hack and the discovery.

We worked with external security experts and the National Cyber Security Centre to investigate and secure our systems.

They'll outsource the clean-up to experts like Crapita.

I don't see this as being a major cause for alarm.
