British Airways, Boots staff’s payroll data compromised by cyberattack

British Airways and retailer Boots said their staff were amongst those hit by a cyber attack on Zellis, a payroll provider used by hundreds of companies in Britain.

British Airways, owned by IAG, said it had notified affected employees and was providing them with support.

“We have been informed that we are one of the companies impacted by Zellis’ cybersecurity incident which occurred via one of their third-party suppliers called MOVEit,” BA said in a statement on Monday.

Part of the Walgreens Boots Alliance, Boots said the attack had included some of its employees’ personal details.
