Summary
In a letter to customers, Adaptavist's CEO Simon Haighton-Williams said the biz detected an "IT security incident" in late March after an attacker used compromised login details to gain unauthorized access to some of its systems. The official line, for now at least, is that the systems accessed contained "typical business data," such as contact information, contracts, and NDAs related to client work. "Please be assured that the data we hold relating to individual customer contacts is that which you would expect to find on a business card: name, business email address, job role, contact number, organization, etc," the post stresses.
