Question:
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure for an update on (i) extent and nature of recent attacks upon the Translink network; and (ii) whether any data has been compromised.

Answer:

Translink has made me aware of difficulties it is experiencing with its internal IT systems. I am receiving regular updates and the incident has been reported to the PSNI. While Translink are working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible, bus and train services have not been affected. Translink’s website and journey planner are also not affected.

Investigations are ongoing, however, there is no evidence that any data has been compromised
