- The breach: The 2023 breach was a cyberattack on Capita, an outsourced administration provider for many organizations, including pension providers and several local councils.
- Affected data: The exposed data of tenants and council residents included sensitive information such as benefits data, which was made accessible on a public cloud storage resource.
- Impact on City West/ForHousing: The request sent by a member of the public to ForHousing, following the Capita breach, was originally addressed to the now-defunct City West Housing Trust. While ForHousing is not covered by the Freedom of Information Act, it confirms the connection between City West and the subsequent organization.
