Dyfed-Powys Police suffers cyber-attack causing disruption

A police department in Wales has reported experiencing a cyber-attack that disrupted some of its non-emergency systems and may have potentially exposed or compromised staff information. Dyfed-Powys Police detected the breach on 14 September and are currently conducting an investigation to determine the details and impact of the incident.

Despite the cyber incident, the police force confirmed that it continues to operate normally, with emergency response services remaining unaffected. While certain online and email communication channels were temporarily unavailable, these have since been restored. The emergency phone lines, including 999 and 101, continued to function without interruption throughout the event.

Officials have notified the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) about the breach as part of their response protocol. The police are working to understand the full scope of the attack and to prevent any further complications or data exposure.

This situation remains under active review, and additional updates will be provided as more information becomes available. In the meantime, the public can be assured that urgent police services continue without disruption
