In February 2022 the organisation suffered a sophisticated ransomware attack that disabled critical business systems for approximately two weeks. The intrusion resulted in the exfiltration of extensive employee personal data, including names, addresses, bank details, national insurance numbers, medical information and passport numbers. Attackers threatened to publish the stolen records unless their demands were met, but the company chose not to pay a ransom. Recovery was achieved through collaboration with IT specialists, implementation of Crowdstrike endpoint protection, system‑wide password resets and the initiation of ongoing staff cybersecurity training. The incident was reported to the Information Commissioner’s Office and police, with investigations remaining open at the time of public disclosure. Following the event, Graham & Brown strengthened its security posture and continued to operate while reinforcing data protection measures.
