LONDON, Feb 2 (Reuters) - The UK's financial regulator
said on Thursday it is aware of an ongoing incident at a unit of
financial data and markets company Ion, which was hit with a
ransomware attack earlier this week.
"We're aware of this ongoing incident and we will continue
to work with our counterparts and the firms affected," a
Financial Conduct Authority spokesperson said on Thursday.
Ion Markets said on Tuesday that part of its company called
Ion Cleared Derivatives "experienced a cybersecurity event".
Ion declined to comment when asked by Reuters on Thursday.
