The UK government is at risk of a “catastrophic ransomware attack” that can potentially bring the country to a “standstill,” warned a new parliamentary committee report.
“A major ransomware attack could have a devastating impact on UK citizens and the economy, and undoubtedly represents a major threat to UK national security,” the report said. “It would also shine a spotlight on the inadequacy of the Government’s efforts to secure the UK against ransomware, and to prepare for the aftermath of a major cyberattack.”
