I’ve not been notified - but had a customer email to cancel as they had seen in the news.
I’ve had tons of ‘missed scan’ international items -that I think is a separate issue to this new cyber attack/incident.
Royal Mail helpline said the items being sent and not having tracking updated as received is because they’ve been sending international items straight to containers at the airports to deal with the backlogs. There they sit until they have a plane ready/time to look at them. Some eventually get tracking, some have just disappeared and I’m putting in lost claims for those as soon as I can.

Someone tripped over the power cord I reckon, just plug it back in, it’ll work again.

Good Evening
Just received an email from Royal Mail stating that they can not export anything for the time being due to a cyber incident. Does anyone know when this issue started?
How come it’s always them?

Just read it on the BBC.
Thankfully I don’t post International with RM
