2023 British Library cyberattack
In October 2023 a Russia-affiliated data-predator collective called Rhysida attacked the online information systems of British Library.[1] Some of the library's services are expected to be unavailable for months.[1] The main catalog may be back online by 15 January 2024.[1] The EThOS collection of British doctoral theses remains offline.[1]
Rhysida demanded a ransom of 20 Bitcoin to restore services and withhold stolen data.[2][3] When the British Library did not acquiesce to the attempt at extortion, approximately 600GB of personnel data was released.[2]
