Red Funnel

In September 2020, Red Funnel, a London-based ferry operator, fell victim to a malicious cyberattack targeting its IT systems. The attack disrupted critical operations, including online and telephone booking systems, as well as timetable management, forcing the company to rely solely on walk-up service desks for ticket purchases. While the incident caused significant operational downtime and inconvenience to customers, Red Funnel confirmed that no personal data was compromised or stolen. The primary impact was on service availability, leading to potential financial losses due to reduced bookings and reputational damage from the outage. The attack did not involve ransomware demands or evidence of data exfiltration, suggesting the motive was likely service disruption rather than data theft.
