Webbers Estate Agents has issued a warning to clients regarding a potential compromise of their personal information. The incident, which the South West firm became aware of this week, involved a third-party service provider rather than Webbers' internal systems.
The affected data may include names, addresses, telephone numbers, and email addresses. Webbers, which operates in Devon, North Cornwall, and Somerset under both Webbers and Fine & Country brands, has stressed that its own security was not breached.
The agency has confirmed that it has notified the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) about the incident. Webbers is currently working with the third-party organisations involved to determine the full extent of the breach. The company has not disclosed the number of clients potentially affected or identified the third-party provider. Based on current information, there has been no reported compromise of financial details or passwords.
