Arup has yet to clarify the exact nature of the cybersecurity incident, explaining that it is still investigating the breach with its payroll provider. As such, it is unclear how many people may have been able to access the private information.<\/p>\n<p>Arup has advised that employees should contact their banks to explain the nature of the risk to their accounts, which could allow them to pre-empt any fraudulent transactions. That being said, this may not fully eradicate the risk.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from closely monitoring their accounts, those affected by the Arup data breach could take action by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.groupactionlawyers.co.uk\/contact\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>making a compensation claim<\/strong><\/a>.
