DfT bus data delay linked to cyber attack on Go-Ahead
The DfT has postponed the release of its annual bus statistics until January due to “data quality issues for a single large operator, which would affect the national trends”. The delay “will allow time for these data to be revised and ensure that it is quality assured to the expected standards”, said the DfT.
An industry source told LTT that the operator in question is Go-Ahead, but the DfT would neither confirm nor deny this. The source told LTT: “I don’t know for sure; but I think it’s very likely to be the Go-Ahead Group which lost data in a cyber attack a couple of months or so ago and is still recovering from it.”
