Overview

MOVEit claims to provide a “secure environment for your most sensitive files”. But in 2023, a data breach at MOVEit affected businesses around the world.   

Because it used MOVEit, UK payroll company Zellis was one of those impacted. When the breach happened, Zellis found out that many of its clients – including DHL – had their personal data exposed in the security violation. Other UK organisations are also involved. In total, thousands of people across the UK are now at risk because of the MOVEit breach. Current and former DHL employees are affected by the data hack. 

Tens of thousands of people could have been affected by the MOVEit (Zellis) data breach.

Frequently asked questions

In May 2023, ransomware gang Clop began abusing a vulnerability in Progress Software’s MOVEit file transfer tool. The widespread attack saw data stolen from organisations worldwide. The breach is thought to be the biggest hack of 2023.  

The potentially compromised data includes employee bank, contact details, and NI numbers. Affected organisations include payroll provider Zellis. Eight Zellis clients are said to be impacted by the data breach.   

Affected companies should be in touch to notify employees and customers if they are involved in this breach. If you do not receive this notification, it is unlikely that you are affected. 

It’s complicated! While MOVEit was hacked, organisations are responsible for the security of their personal data. So Zellis, and Zellis’ clients could be in trouble. When considering what action to take, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) will look at the security measures of all the affected organisations and how they share data with third parties.   

We cannot say how much compensation you might get if you win your data breach case. Each claim is based on its merits and your solicitor will work to get the compensation owed to you.  

A group action claim allows people affected by the same issue to take action together. This strength in numbers helps stand up to big organisations. Join the Claim helps connect people with law firms so these actions have real impact.
