Cyberattack on Microlise Disables Tracking in Prison Vans, Courier Vehicles

Tracking systems and panic alarms in prison vans and courier vehicles were disabled after Microlise, a provider of vehicle tracking solutions for fleet operators, fell victim to a cyberattack last week.

UK-based Microlise disclosed the incident on October 31, when it notified the London Stock Exchange that ‘unauthorized activity’ on its network affected a large portion of its services.

The company said it retained external cybersecurity experts to investigate the attack and immediately started work on restoring the affected services.

In a November 6 update, Microlise said it was “making substantial progress in containing and clearing the threat from its network” and that it has been bringing services online, with all of them expected to become operational by the end of next week.

The company said that no customer systems data has been compromised in the attack, but noted that some employee data was impacted.
