A few months back it seems the only thing in the tech press were the cyber attacks on the Co-Op, Marks & Spencer and Harrods, from empty shelves and huge financial losses to phishing emails and abusive emails to the CEO. Here are some of my articles:
UK Retail Cyber-attacks – Who did it?
The National Crime Agency (NCA), following an investigation has arrested a 20-year-old woman in Staffordshire and three males – aged between 17 and 19 – in London and the West Midlands. They face charges under the Computer Misuse Act relating to blackmail, money laundering and being part of an organised crime group.
