Former Employee Arrested After IT Attack At National Portrait Gallery

Museum forced to close exhibits after former employee allegedly disables IT systems

A former Museum contract worker has been arrested after allegedly shutting down its IT systems.

Part of the National Portrait Gallery in London's permanent collection was closed yesterday, while temporary exhibitions will remain closed over the weekend following the alleged attack.

The museum said the former member of staff, who had recently been dismissed, had “trespassed” at the venue and was arrested at the scene.
