1000 cyber incidents reported in first year to NCSC

Cryptocurrency

More than 1,000 incidents were reported to the National Cyber Security Centre in its first year of operation. Comment from Joe Hancock, Cyber Security Lead at Mishcon de Reya.

Joe Hancock, Cyber Security Lead at Mishcon de Reya, says: “One thousand attacks may seem like a large number but the reality is that these are the tip of the iceberg. The majority of attacks on business, government and third sector organisations go unreported and often undetected.  Behind these high-profile incidents, there are the millions of online crimes that affect individuals every day.”

“We routinely deal with these issues and it is clear to us that more needs to be done to support law enforcement in supporting both victims and responders to detect and recover from them better.”

“The recent Equifax breach shows the potential downsides of large scale data collection where there is little consent. The level of cyber security is not globally consistent and we are always only as strong as the weakest link. The NCSC is a critical part of the UK’s strategy to become one of the safest places to be online. We are keen to see this strategy broadened with further investment”.
