The UK is under attack.
Whether the target is an illicit dating site, a leading business, charity or even the National Health Service (NHS), hackers and international criminals have demonstrated a level of indiscriminate ruthlessness towards wreaking havoc and stealing confidential information from victims.
The impact of these attacks are profound. In September last year, that ride-hailing firm Uber agreed to pay £133m to settle all legal action over the cyber attack that exposed data from 57m customers and drivers back in 2016. British Airways was hit in the summer by a breach, affecting 380,000 transactions, involving stolen personal and financial information, but not passport or flight details. Additionally, Facebook also disclosed that a security breach exposed up to 90m Facebook user accounts in September 2018.
