Notice of cyber security incident
James Fisher and Sons plc (FSJ.L) ("JFS"), the leading marine
services provider, today reports that it has been subject to a
cyber security incident which involved unauthorised access to its
computer systems. JFS took immediate steps to respond to and manage
the incident, appointing external specialists, including forensic
cyber security experts to investigate the circumstances and scope
of the incident. These investigations are ongoing.
As a precautionary measure JFS took all affected systems
offline. This has restricted access to communication and financial
systems. Following containment of the incident, we are working with
our cyber security experts on a safe recovery of systems,
applications and data from our disaster recovery back-up. Work is
ongoing to complete the recovery as quickly as possible and to
minimise any impact on our businesses.
As a responsible global business we have notified regulators and
law enforcement agencies in the UK and, where required, are in the
process of notifying in other jurisdictions. A further update will
be made in due course.
