An outside party made an intrusion into the system supplier Structab's IT system on March 20. This led to the IT system being shut down and all service trips run by Taxi-Boo, Taxi touring and Västbo taxi between March 20 and 27 instead having to be administered manually. The same problem also affected many other taxi companies that run service trips in several different counties in the country.
No delays
Länstrafiken writes in a press release that no travelers who went on service trips with the affected taxi companies suffered delays or the like due to the data breach. From today on Tuesday, the IT system will work again.
"We are grateful for this and that our service seconds were able to continue to travel as usual. Now everything is working as it should again, says Anna-Karin Malm, service travel manager at Länstrafiken in the press release.
Notified to the authorities
An analysis is currently being done to investigate the data breach. If, based on the analysis that is now being carried out, it turns out that consequences may have arisen for Länstrafiken's service seconds, customers will be contacted.
The incident is classified by Region Jönköping County as a personal data breach and it has been reported to the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection.
