Glasgow Council Yanks Services Offline Amid Attack Cleanup

  • On June 19, 2025, Glasgow City Council experienced a cyberattack causing major disruption to multiple online services after its ICT supplier CGI detected malicious activity on third-party servers.
  • The attack stemmed from a problem within the supply chain connected to a vendor's supplier, prompting the council to disconnect the impacted systems as a safety measure.
  • Services affected include planning application access, parking fine payments, reporting school absences, and ordering certificates, while no financial systems or bank and card details were compromised.
  • The council confirmed that financial information, including bank and card payment details handled through their systems, remains secure and unaffected. However, they advised individuals who have submitted information via the impacted online forms to remain vigilant due to the potential risk of data being accessed.
  • Police Scotland and cybersecurity agencies, including the Scottish Cyber Coordination Centre, are investigating the incident, while Glasgow City Council is working to restore affected services and urging residents to stay alert to phishing scams.
