UK mapping agency Ordnance Survey has suffered a security breach leading to the compromise of data on 1000 employees, according to reports.

It’s unclear when the breach happened, but the attacker is thought to have compromised the CFO’s email account via a phishing attack, exfiltrating payroll files, according to Verdict.
In a statement sent to the title, Ordnance Survey clarified that no customer information was compromised and its own systems remain unaffected.

“Investigations have identified that some employee information has been potentially compromised. We are working with all affected employees providing advice and guidance on personal information security. As a precaution employees have been offered access to an identity fraud protection scheme.”
The ICO has confirmed that the remedial steps taken by Ordnance Survey following the incident are sufficient and it will be taking no further action.
