ZURICH, Oct 8 : Swiss federal pension fund Publica said on Thursday it was exposed to a data leak after an external software provider suffered a cyber attack at the end of September.
• Publica, which manages pensions for Swiss federal employees and affiliated organisations, said the company and authorities are working to determine the scope of the data affected.
• The provider was not identified.
• The Swiss Attorney General's office has opened an investigation and no other federal entities had a business relationship with the company, Publica said.
