Fota Wildlife Park 'has contacted all customers affected by cyberattack'

The scam came to light on Wednesday when the wildlife park on Fota Island in East Cork contacted all patrons who had bought tickets on its site between May 12 and August 27

Fota Wildlife Park says it has now contacted all of the customers affected by the cyberattack on its website which emerged earlier this week.

In an update, the park confirmed once more that the attack had occurred and said that “appropriate measures” had been taken to secure its website.
