Lloyd’s is restoring services after taking some systems offline in the wake of unusual activity on its network.

In a statement on its website, Lloyd’s said: “Last week, unusual activity was detected on the Lloyd’s network.

“As a result, the proactive decision was made to take some systems offline and perform a cybersecurity investigation. This was led by a dedicated team and two specialist partners, Mandiant and NTT.

“The investigation has concluded that no evidence of any compromise was found and as such Lloyd’s has been advised that its network services can now be restored.

“We continue to work with our partners to monitor the IT environment as we restore services to the market, which we currently anticipate to complete by Wednesday 12 October.”
