Framlingham College

Framlingham College

Framlingham College, a boarding and day school in Suffolk, UK, was targeted by a cyber attack, which was identified as a 'cyber security incident' on a Thursday. The school responded promptly by isolating the issue to prevent further escalation. Despite the attack, the institution remained fully operational with no disruption to teaching, examinations, or daily activities. The perpetrators behind the attack remain unknown, though the incident occurred around the same time as similar cyber attacks on major national retailers like Marks and Spencer, Co-op, and Harrods. There is no indication of data compromise, financial loss, or reputational damage beyond the initial breach detection. The school’s swift containment measures ensured minimal operational impact, suggesting the attack did not progress beyond initial infiltration or reconnaissance.
