Digital Highwayman Vs. Mr. Bean: UK’s Hilarious Mismatch in Cybersecurity Battle
Facing a torrent of ransomware attacks, the UK seems less like James Bond and more Mr. Bean. With ransomware-as-a-service available, even digital novices can join the fray. It’s high time the UK government steps up to the ‘UK Ransomware Attack Threat’ plate, or risk turning into the world’s digital pinata.
Hot Take:
Ransomware, the digital version of a highwayman, is wreaking havoc in the UK, and the government's response is akin to a constable with a truncheon facing a cannon. The UK is being targeted by cyber crooks, and the government's reaction is less "James Bond" and more "Mr. Bean". With ransomware-as-a-service now on the dark web menu, even the amateur cyber gangs can have a go. It's high time the UK government ups its game or risk turning the nation into the world's digital pinata.Already a member? Log in here
