The infrastructure expenses related to the ransomware assault that occurred in January have been made public for the first time by Royal Mail’s parent company, International Distributions Services.
The British company’s expenses have increased due to LockBit’s assault in a number of sectors, but upgrades to the company’s Heathrow Worldwide Distribution Centre, the attack’s target, will set the company back £10 million ($12.4 million), it stated in a regulatory filing today.
The attack’s overall expenditures are probably higher, but International Distribution Services, or IDS, hasn’t provided specific numbers. The Register requested more information from Royal Mail, but it did not reply.
