AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
Staff at the Revenue Commissioners were warned not to reuse their work passwords after a ransomware breach at their supplier, Pitney Bowes, exposed the personal details of 137 employees—including names, email addresses, job titles, phone numbers and office addresses. Although no passwords or taxpayer data were compromised, the breach could lead to a rise in phishing and social‑engineering attacks, so staff were urged to limit data sharing, stay alert for suspicious supplier requests, and treat any future scam emails or calls with heightened caution. The agency, advised by the National Cyber Security Centre, is contacting the affected employees directly and monitoring for any further suspicious activity.
