UK umbrella payroll firm Giant Pay confirms it was hit by 'sophisticated' cyber-attack

Good to know - thanks!

Tech contractors fume over payday outage at Giant Pay after it sniffs 'suspicious activity'

Yes they said early on that they had to take everything down including their phone and email system in response to the same 'issue' so if that's what you mean by a monolith, this appears to be the case, yes.

Like many others I'm sitting on 5 weeks of unpaid work, and cursing the stupid legislation that led to this debacle. Having been signed up to a decidedly dodgy umbrella in my first encounter with the things I was already wary of using them, but had at least thought a legit outfit like Giant would be competent at paying people.
