Cyber security incident update
Further to the announcement on 8 November 2021 regarding Angling
Direct's cyber security incident, the Company is confident it has
now eradicated any threat from its systems. It has also regained
control of its websites and social media channels. As roll out
continues, our homepage may take longer to update in some browsers
and jurisdictions than others. Investigations are continuing by our
independent cyber security specialists to determine whether this
incident has had an impact on any personal data and the Company
will inform any individuals impacted in line with our regulatory
obligations should there be a need to do so. Importantly, the
Company does not hold any customer financial data as our website
transactions are handled by third parties.
While work continues round the clock to bring our websites back
online and resume online trading, our 39 retail stores across the
UK remain open and continue to trade.
As matters currently stand, the Board remains of the view that
this incident will not have a detrimental impact on underlying
trading and the Company will continue to assess any cost exposure
that this incident may create. The Company continues to monitor its
online environment very closely and it has implemented additional
reinforcements to its suite of security measures. The Board will
provide a further update as and when appropriate and further
apologises for any disruption that has been caused to customers by
this incident.
