Business process outsourcing and tech services player Capita says there is proof that some customer data was scooped up by cyber baddies that broke into its systems late last month.<\/p>\n

The British listed business, which has around \u00a36.5 billion ($8.09 billion) in public sector contracts, updated the London Stock Exchange this morning<\/a> to confirm the criminals breached its infrastructure on March 22 and remained inside until \u201cinterrupted\u201d by the company on March 31.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a result of the interruption, the incident was significantly restricted, potentially affecting around 4 percent of Capita\u2019s server estate. There is currently some evidence of limited data exfiltration from the small proportion of affected server estate which might include customer, supplier or colleague data.\u201d<\/p>\n
