Threat Score
The OBR inadvertently made its November 2025 economic and fiscal outlook publicly accessible via an unprotected, previously-used URL, allowing Reuters to obtain and publish excerpts about 45 minutes before the chancellor's budget statement. The incident is being investigated by the OBR with independent oversight and outside cyber expertise, and is treated as a publication/configuration error with reputational and procedural impacts rather than evidence of a targeted cyberattack.
