Update - Colt are still unable to process number ports, we assume as a consequence of their well publicised cyber-attack. A list of compromised files, which is asserted to be the files compromised by the attacks is at (https://www.klos.com/~john/colt_filename_tree.txt)
This list contains a number of interoperability documents between Simwood and Colt. The list also contains documents that appear to be Number Portability Order Forms, although it is unclear as to whether these relate to Simwood customers. NPORs will contain some information about the Subscriber changing providers, e.g. name, address, and telephone numbers. Additionally, there is other information clearly of a sensitive nature on the list, but that does not, as far as we can tell, relate to Simwood and its customer’s relationships.
At this time, we understand that Colt are working to prevent further disclosure, however, this is all the detail we have at this time. Our customers should engage their Data Protection Officers regarding the consequences of the attack on Colt as a matter of urgency.

Update - Colt have now confirmed an ongoing cyber-incident (https://www.colt.net/status/). At the moment voice traffic on existing ported numbers seems unaffected.
Aug 14, 2025 - 17:06 UTC
Monitoring - Colt have advised that they are unable to complete any import or export porting orders until further notice. Their Status page (https://www.colt.net/status/) suggests an IT issue while online speculation (https://cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog/115022343170487477) is of an undisclosed cyber attack. We will advise when we have further news.
