Following a cyber attack in January on the Royal Mail, the postal company has now said it's moving ‘limited volumes’ of export parcels and is now ‘working around the clock’ to resolve the situation.
The company said it was trialling ‘operational workarounds’ but continued to ask customers not to submit any new export parcels into the network.said: ‘Our initial focus will be to clear mail that has already been processed and is waiting to be despatched.
‘From 1900 this evening, customers will be able to start submitting international export letters which do not require a customs declaration into the Royal Mail network again through all channels including Royal Mail post boxes and Post Office branches. ‘Our import operations continue to perform a full service with some minor delays. Domestic services remain unaffected.Royal Mail added it was ‘working around the clock’ to fully resolve the situation.hacker group widely thought to have close links to RussiaIt’s not clear whether or not Royal Mail has paid any ransom, and the company declined to respond to requests for comment from Metro.co.uk.
Jake Moore, Global Cyber Security Advisor at ESET, told Metro.co.uk: ’LockBit is a ransomware attack which couples extortion attacks. It automatically looks for potential suspects and then spreads the infection and encrypts all accessible computer systems on a network.

Frontiers | cGAS/STING and innate brain inflammation following acute high-fat feedingObesity, prediabetes, and diabetes are growing in prevalence worldwide. These metabolic disorders are associated with neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimer’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease related dementias. Innate inflammatory signaling plays a critical role in this association, potentially via the early activation of the cGAS/STING pathway. To determine acute systemic metabolic and inflammatory responses and corresponding changes in the brain, we used a high fat diet fed obese mouse model of prediabetes and cognitive impairment. We observed acute systemic changes in metabolic and inflammatory responses, with impaired glucose tolerance, insulin resistance, and alterations in peripheral immune cell populations. Central inflammatory changes included microglial activation in a pro-inflammatory environment with cGAS/STING activation. Blocking gap junctions in neuron-microglial co-cultures significantly decreased cGAS/STING activation. Collectively these studies suggest a role for early activation of the innate immune system both peripherally and centrally with potential inflammatory crosstalk between neurons and glia.
