A ‘cyber attack’ has hit authorities across Greater Manchester — leaving thousands vulnerable to a phishing scam.
Locally, authorities said they were ‘aware’ of the attack and scam. A Manchester council spokesperson said: "We are aware that following a cyber attack over the weekend that some Manchester Move applicants have received a scam email asking them to create a new account to progress their application. "We take holding and protecting personal data seriously and we are working closely with the website supplier to ensure it is safe - and the Manchester Move website will remain deactivated until we are satisfied that we can avoid similar incidents in the future. We apologise for any inconvenience caused."
“Some people registered on the Homes for Bolton choice-based lettings service have been targeted by an email phishing scam as a result. We urge people to be extra vigilant.
