CVS Vet Group Faces Major Disruption Following Cyber Attack

The UK-based veterinary services provider CVS Group has been significantly impacted by a cyber attack, affecting operations and raising concerns over personal data security.

CVS Group, operating 500 veterinary practices globally, experienced a cyber attack leading to considerable operational disruption.
The attack forced the company to take its IT systems offline, slowing down operations and affecting UK practices the most.
There is a potential risk to personal information, prompting CVS to inform the Information Commissioner’s Office.
The cyber incident has accelerated CVS's plans to migrate IT infrastructure to the cloud for enhanced security.
The attack comes amid a difficult period for CVS, with a 40% share price slump and a competition watchdog investigation into the veterinary market.
