WPP Statement re: Malware Attack
A number of WPP companies were affected by this week's global
malware attack.
While the attack did not affect the entire Group, and many of
our companies are fully functional, some continue to be
disrupted.
Steady progress is being made towards restoring services.
However, in doing so, our emphasis is not only on speed but on
safety, and on minimising the impact for our people, partners and
clients.
With any such attack, data security is of primary concern. There
is no evidence to suggest that confidential information or personal
data of any kind has been disclosed to any third parties.
As soon as we became aware of the attack on Tuesday 27 June, we
took appropriate precautionary measures, including shutting down
systems to protect business and client operations and data. We are
now bringing those systems back online in a measured and prudent
way, in line with good practice.
Everything is being done to resume normal service as soon as
possible.
