Jonathon Ellison, NCSC Director for National Resilience, said:
“The reports of highly sensitive data being stolen in a cyber incident impacting nurseries are deeply distressing.
“Cyber criminals will target anyone if they think there is money to be made, and going after those who look after children is a particularly egregious act.
“The NCSC has bespoke guidance to help early years settings, such as nurseries, protect themselves from attacks, as well as guidance for individuals who are concerned that their data has been affected by a breach.”
