Optionis, the group that includes umbrella and accountancy companies providing services to tech contractors, has confirmed that following last month’s digital break-in customer data is being leaked online.<\/p>\n

As we revealed mid-January, Parasol Group, which provides payroll services to freelancers, shut down its IT systems<\/a> for an extended period to deal with a serious attack, thought by some to be ransomware. Parent Optionis Group later said that divisions SJD Accountancy and Nixon Williams were also hit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In an email seen by us, Doug Crawford, CEO at Optionis, today thanked contractors for their “patience over the past few weeks.” “The incident has now been contained and we have notified the police and relevant authorities,” he continued.<\/p>\n
