There is an article on an IT news site confirming that personal data has been stolen in this incident - I can't post links, but extract from the article below
"Spectos GmbH has been the target of an ongoing cyber attack since March 29, 2025. According to the current status, unauthorized access to systems and personal customer data has occurred. The exact scope of the incident is currently the subject of intensive forensic investigations," a spokesperson told BleepingComputer.The threat actor behind this leak (who uses the "GHNA" handle on BreachForums) released 16,549 files allegedly containing Royal Mail customers' personally identifiable information (including names, addresses, planned delivery dates, and more) and other confidential documents.
GHNA says the leaked documents also include Mailchimp mailing lists, datasets containing delivery/post office locations, the WordPress SQL database for mail agents.uk"

Are people still posting their packs as normal and just noting down the details to enter later or holding off?I have a pack that should have been posted the day this started but I haven't sent it as couldn't enter the details.Also I'm just keeping any items that arrive and writing the date on them so I can then enter them when the system is back up again.1

I'm keeping a note of tests and packages and everything else received for CDM and UA surveys and just about to post a couple of transponders back to them. Keeping calm and carrying on.Debt Free Wannabe by 1 December 2027
