Brookson/SJD/Nixon Williams down today as well?

One of their updates on LinkedIn said they would be running payroll with a fixed percentage deduction as they don't have access to systems to calculate it correctly.

I got paid on Saturday after a call from them asking my bank details, and it's a fair bit lower than it should be.

I expect they'll include you in the next payroll run when they're back up and running to correct the amounts.

Yeah its probably that; annoying as the client was reimbursing a load of travel expenses that I'd forked out over the last 6 months so I've been taxed on that which I shouldn't have been! But makes sense; I have at least seen some emails from actual staff in Brookson today so they're still there!

Just putting it out there if people come here looking for any info.

SJD's b0xens have been 0wned, i got an email last night from them, how hard their b0xens have been 0wned is not cle4r.

Its a good time for those that have not been hacked to check your companies security patches, keys and certificates.

Further 0wnage is guranteed.
