Royal Mail hit by Russia-linked ransomware attack (BBC)

Severe disruption to Royal Mail's overseas deliveries has been caused by ransomware linked to Russian criminals, the BBC has been told.

The cyber-attack has affected the computer systems Royal Mail uses to despatch deliveries abroad.

Royal Mail has been warning customers since Wednesday of disruption due to a "cyber-incident".

Its latest advice is for people not to try to send international letters and parcels until the issue is resolved.
