Outsourcing firm used by NHS, local councils and British army says attack mainly affected internal systems
Capita, the outsourcing group that runs crucial operations for the NHS and the military, was still restoring online services for customers on Monday morning as it confirmed a cyber-attack was to blame for a major IT outage that hit clients including local councils on Friday.
The company was working over the weekend to try to repair systems for clients, which include agencies involved in critical national infrastructure. Some customers reported having to resort to using radios, pens and paper after the attack.
