Hackers broke into an HR database and stole details of current and former employees, the Telegraph reported, citing a company insider.

It is not clear exactly what data was stolen, but it could include sensitive information such as names, addresses and bank details.
Interserve, which recently helped to build the NHS Nightingale hospital in Birmingham, said some of its operations may be affected.

“This will take some time and some operational services may be affected. Interserve has informed the Information Commissioner of the incident. We will provide further updates when appropriate.”

It follows a similar attack last week on Bam Construct, which recently worked on the Nightingale hospital in Yorkshire and the Humber.
Bam said it had shut down its website and some other systems after the cyber attack but that its day-to-day business remained largely unaffected.
