"British Library Recovers Online Services Post Cyberattack"
TL;DR
The British Library's online catalogue has been restored after a cyber attack in late 2023, which resulted in the website being offline for almost a month. The cyber criminal ransomware gang Rhysida claimed responsibility for the attack, and the library's CEO confirmed that plans to bring the service back online would continue. The cost of the attack is estimated to be as high as £7 million, and the library has vowed not to pay any ransom to the criminals.
