Earlier this week Cambridge University Press (CUP) experienced a cybersecurity incident that has affected their IT systems. This will cause a delay in the supply of orders. CUP has indicated that they will not be able to supply books in the coming three weeks. We will provide you with updates as they are made available.

Please find here the official statement from CUP:

Cambridge University Press & Assessment has experienced a cybersecurity incident

We were able to respond to this incident quickly and took immediate action to contain it and limit its impact. As part of this action, we have had to take some of our systems offline as a precautionary measure and are working to restore these as quickly as possible.

Most customer-facing platforms remain live and there has been no impact on the current exam series.

We are also aware that a group has claimed that data related to our organisation has been published online, and we are working to verify this claim. We are continuing to investigate with the support of external experts and the relevant authorities, including the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre.

Our investigation into what happened remains ongoing and the experts we are working with have advised that it will take some time to complete owing to its complexity. We will provide further updates as soon as we can.
