On Monday 9 December the National Museum of the Royal Navy became aware that we have been the victim of a ransomware cyber attack.

Our Museum sites remain open but this incident is having significant impact on the delivery of services across the Museum, and we apologise for any inconvenience this is causing to our customers and partners.

We are working urgently with our partners including our IT provider, law enforcement, the Royal Navy and the National Cyber Security Centre to fully understand the origin and impact of the attack and manage its effects.

These issues can take time to resolve, and we appreciate your patience and understanding.
