Data Breach Drama: UK’s Fastest DBS Checker Caught in Cyber Crossfire
Access Personal Checking Services (APCS) is dealing with a data breach involving their third-party developer, Intradev. While APCS checks criminal records faster than you can say “background screening,” even they couldn’t outrun this cyber hiccup. On the bright side, no financial data was compromised—your wallet can breathe a sigh of relief!
Hot Take:
Looks like someone took “background check” a little too literally! APCS, the UK’s speediest provider of criminal record checks, experienced a data breach thanks to a third-party company, proving once again that you can’t outrun cybercriminals, even at lightning speed. For now, let’s hope the crooks didn’t get their hands on anything too juicy, like your poorly chosen Facebook profile picture from 2009!
Key Points:
- APCS, a UK provider of DBS checks, faced a data breach via third-party Intradev.
- Intradev, based in Hull, provides bespoke software and is Cyber Essentials certified.
- The breach revealed basic personal info, passport, driving license, and national insurance details.
- Intradev has reported the breach to the ICO and is investigating further.
- The UK government and NCSC have declined to comment on the incident.
