The law firm that last month sent a Letter of Claim to Capita over the breach in late March says it has signed up nearly 1,000 clients as it prepares a class action lawsuit aimed at the outsourcing biz.<\/p>\n

Capita confirmed the burglary in early April<\/a>, saying at the time intruders had spent nine days on the inside before they were spotted. Some 0.1 percent of Capita servers were accessed and it had evidence<\/a> that data had been exfiltrated, including personal and corporate information.<\/p>\n

In May, the tech services company wrote to pension clients<\/a> \u2013 it administers 450 schemes in Britain with 4.3 million members \u2013 to inform them that some of their data was housed in the systems that were potentially accessed. The Pension’s Regulator advised clients to speak to Capita to ascertain the risk.<\/p>\n
