ZURICH, Oct 8 (Reuters) – Swiss federal pension fund Publica said on Thursday it was exposed to a data leak after an external software provider suffered a cyber attack at the end of September. 

• Publica, which manages pensions for Swiss federal employees and affiliated organisations, said the company and authorities are working to determine the scope of the data affected.

• The provider was not identified.

• The Swiss Attorney General’s office has opened an investigation and no other federal entities had a business relationship with the company, Publica said.
