Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea experienced a serious cyber intrusion that forced parts of its network to be shut down as a precaution. Internal notes say staff can use guest Wi‑Fi or mobile hotspots but core systems may remain offline for days. Investigations are underway to determine if any data was compromised, and the Information Commissioner's Office has been informed. Cybersecurity specialists and the National Cyber Security Centre are assisting, and business continuity and emergency plans were activated to maintain critical services. Officials have implemented mitigations, urged staff and residents to be cautious, and warned other councils to remain vigilant.
