Following the British Library's cyber-attack, we have some tips for workarounds for researchers impacted by this. See our blog at https://blogs.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/history/2023/11/21/british-library-cyber-attack-tips-for-workarounds/.

We’re continuing to experience a major technology outage as a result of a cyber-attack. This is affecting our website, online systems and services, as well as some onsite services. Our sites are still open and you can find details of the services available, plus other useful information on our blog: https://bit.ly/BLCyberUpdateNov

Following last week’s confirmation that this was a ransomware attack, we now have evidence that indicates the attackers might have copied some user data, and additional data appears to have been published on the dark web.

We will continue to work with cybersecurity specialists to examine what this material is and we will be contacting our users to advise them of the practical steps they may need to take.

If you have a password for British Library services that you use on other websites, we recommend you change it elsewhere as a precaution. NCSC provides guidance on staying secure online, including how to create a strong password: https://bit.ly/BLNCSC. You can also find specific guidance for individuals who may have been impacted by a data breach: https://bit.ly/BLNCSCData

We’ll continue to share updates as and when we can. Thank you for your understanding.
