What was reported
The ICO reported that the March 2023 Capita attack resulted in theft of 6.6 million people’s information. Pension and staff records were among the affected data. Its investigation identified security and response failures. Capita plc and Capita Pension Solutions agreed to penalties totaling £14 million.
Our perspective
Our reading: Outsourcing a task does not remove responsibility for the information involved. Separating client contexts and limiting each service’s reach are useful design questions for private AI memory too.

This case concerns enterprise security and incident response, not an AI evaluation. Limiting AI context would not by itself secure pension systems or stop ransomware.
