On the 7th November 2024 a staff member’s email account was compromised and unfortunately this has resulted in phishing emails being sent to some of our customers. We were aware of the breach within minutes of it occurring and were able to quickly secure the account to prevent further malicious actions. We have investigated activity on this account and are sure this was limited to the online email account and no more.

The email sent had the subject line Emma Johnston shared “Orcina Ltd Project Report” with you, and the email contained an attachment. In many cases this will have been quarantined by your email system but if you see this email in your inbox then please delete it, do not click on any links within the email or attempt to open the attachment.

We apologize for any inconvenience and confusion this may have caused. It is embarrassing for us that this has occurred as we take security very seriously. We are consequently reviewing our security configuration.
