The cyberattack hitting Transport for London (TfL), the government body that runs the U.K. capital’s transit system, is now dragging into its second week. Although the transit system remains
operational and unaffected by the cyber incident, some TfL online and digital customer services remain offline. In a brief update on its cyber incident page, TfL said it continues to deal
with an “ongoing” incident. The update removed a line that previously said, “There is no evidence that any customer data has been compromised,” and replaced it with, “The security of our
systems and customer data is very important to us.” TechCrunch asked TfL on Friday if the organization has the technical means, such as logs, to determine what, if any, customer or employee
data was exfiltrated from its systems, and a spokesperson declined to answer at the time. When contacted by TechCrunch, TfL spokesperson Thomas Canning confirmed that TfL’s website had
updated, but did not answer our questions or comment about the update. _Updated with comment from TfL._
