Are you affected by the Capita pension cyber-attack?

Over half a million pension holders could be eligible to join a new Capita data breach legal claim

Capita, which provides outsourced pension administration services to over 450 pension providers across the UK, experienced a significant data breach that could affect over half a million pension holders, their beneficiaries, and some Capita employees. 

You could be eligible to join this claim if you got an email or letter from a pension provider confirming you are affected.

Have you been affected by this data breach?

The criminal ransomware gang Black Basta attacked Capita in March 2023 when it hacked Capita’s Microsoft Office 365 software and stole data from its servers. Personal data – including names, dates of birth and National Insurance numbers – may have been stolen. Other highly sensitive data – including bank details – could also be affected.
