Due to a major technology outage at the @britishlibrary, electronic legal deposit material is still unavailable via our terminals. Please check the service updates on our website for the latest information: https://t.co/aT8KKcNMi1

[British Library @britishlibrary]

We’re continuing to experience a major technology outage as a result of a cyber-attack, affecting our website, online systems and services, and some onsite services too. We anticipate restoring many services in the next few weeks, but some disruption may persist.

We have now confirmed that this was a ransomware attack, by a group known for such criminal activity. As mentioned in previous updates, we’ve taken targeted protective measures to ensure the integrity of our systems, and we’re undertaking a forensic investigation with the support of NCSC, the Metropolitan Police and cybersecurity specialists.

Our buildings are open and events and exhibitions are going ahead. While our website and some services are offline, we’re regularly updating our blog with information on what’s still available: https://t.co/CSGs8H07wJ

Thank you for your ongoing patience while we continue to investigate this incident. We’re really grateful for your understanding.

Thanks so much for the lovely, feedback @7NpwmaVD7YFCOwM! So glad we could help. Keep your book recommendations coming! 😊

[Wen Shihao @7NpwmaVD7YFCOwM]

I must express my admiration and gratitude to the Casimir Lewy Library in Cambridge. I requested of this book on Monday because none of the libraries in Cambridge has this book, and they handed this book to me on Thursday. It's so fast.
