    Vet Giant CVS Group Suffers Cyber Attack, Faces Operational Disruption

    A major vet company, CVS Group, has reported significant operational disruption following a cyber incident that occurred over the past week. The company, which operates around 500 veterinary practices globally, stated that the attack resulted in “unauthorised external access” to a limited number of its IT systems.

    In response to the breach, CVS Group took its IT systems offline temporarily to prevent further unauthorized access. While this action successfully prevented the hackers from gaining additional access, it had a “considerable” impact on the company’s operations, particularly in the UK.

    Specialist third-party consultants are currently investigating the incident, and CVS Group has notified authorities such as the Information Commissioner’s Office due to the potential risk of malicious access to personal information. Despite the disruption, the company’s staff have continued to provide high levels of clinical care to clients and patients at most of its practices.

    To enhance its cybersecurity measures, CVS Group is expediting plans to transition its practice management system and relevant IT infrastructure to the Cloud. However, the company anticipates that these security enhancements and the transition process may lead to ongoing operational impacts for several weeks.

    The London-listed company is working diligently to address the aftermath of the cyber attack and ensure the security of its systems moving forward.
