Housing association asks thousands of its tenants to be vigilant as it investigates IT 'security incident'
A housing association says it has suffered a security "incident" and has taken its systems offline while it investigates.
Connexus, based in Craven Arms, says it has taken the action to protect the personal data of its customers as a precaution while it investigates the incident.
The rural housing group with over 10,500 homes across Shropshire and Herefordshire announced the incident on Monday afternoon.
In an updated statement on Tuesday the company said it is "continuing to investigate a security incident involving unauthorised access to its systems."
It added that its teams are "making good progress working alongside expert agencies, to investigate and establish what information may have been accessed and to restore systems quickly."
