Ransomware expert Dr Daniel Prince, at Lancaster University, says the new year is the perfect time for companies to look at how they can improve protecting their data
Excerpt - One of the most famous cyber attacks to have happened in the UK disrupted more than 80 hospital trusts, reportedly cost the NHS £92 million and caused more than 19,000 medical appointments to have to be cancelled.
