Statement on Recent Cyberattacks in Europe

“In light of recent reports of cyberattacks affecting organisations across Europe, we would like to reassure our recipients that the safety and security of our stored sperm remains our highest priority.

At London Sperm Bank, Sperm is preserved in specialised cryogenic storage tanks that are monitored 24/7. Our cryogenic storage tanks operate independently of external computer networks and cannot be remotely controlled, accessed or manipulated through digital systems. Their fundamental storage function is physical rather than digitally controlled, providing an important level of protection against cybersecurity threats. In addition, our laboratories operate under strict quality management and safety procedures, including routine monitoring, alarm systems, regular equipment inspections, and established emergency response protocols.

We continuously review our safety, security and contingency arrangements to ensure that the highest standards of care and protection are maintained.”
