FULCRUM UTILITY SERVICES LIMITED

("Fulcrum" or "the Group")

Notice of cyber security incident

 

 

Fulcrum announces that it is has recently managed a cyber security incident
after detecting unauthorised activity ("Activity") on its network. The
Activity has ceased and the Group's IT systems have been securely reinstated.

On becoming aware of the Activity, Fulcrum immediately implemented its
incident response plan, engaged its external IT specialists and took
precautionary measures, including initiating outages of its IT
infrastructure.

The majority of the Group's field operations were able to continue.  However,
access to and visibility of managerial and system information has been limited
and work is ongoing to ameliorate this and assess the impact on the business,
if any.

No data was breached or accessed during the Activity.

The Board is cognisant that similar cyber security incidents have affected
various other businesses recently and the Board will provide a further update
as and when appropriate.
