In early Monday trading, shares of CVS Group fell 2.7% to 907.32 pence, compounding the company’s losses of almost 44% so far this year.
One of the largest veterinary chains in Britain, CVS Group, reported on Monday that it has disrupted its UK operations after discovering and stopping unlawful external access to a small number of its IT systems.
The business claimed to have acted right away, but it did not elaborate on the type of data that was obtained or whether it had any financial repercussions.
“Specialist third party consultants have been engaged to investigate the nature and extent of the incident … CVS has also proactively informed the relevant authorities … due to the risk of malicious access to personal information,” the company said in a statement.
But according to the London-listed company, some systems are not operating as effectively as they should, which might have a long-term operational impact in the UK for a few weeks.
In early Monday trading, shares of CVS Group fell 2.7% to 907.32 pence, compounding the company’s losses of almost 44% so far this year. This decline was caused by the possibility that Britain’s competition watchdog will look into the veterinary industry for competition and pricing issues.
The company stated in February that it anticipates the year-end June 30, 2024, results to be in line with market expectations.
