How to protect yourself from scam emails and more<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Almost all forms of cyber crime are on the rise, but one the National Crime Agency points to as particularly dangerous for UK businesses is the rise of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/email-fraud-warning-now-hackers-want-your-data-as-well-as-your-money\/\">business email compromise attacks and CEO fraud<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>While these attacks take additional time and resources for hackers to successfully carry out, they can be lucrative. Indeed, the F<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/ransomware-tech-support-scams-or-email-fraud-which-cybercrimes-cost-victims-most\/\">BI has stated that these scams cost global businesses billions<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The sheer number of large data breaches is also fuelling an increase in fraud and phishing, as criminals are able to get their hands on sensitive data to help carry out attacks.<\/p>\n<p>The NCA notes that with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/gdpr-an-executive-guide-to-what-you-need-to-know\/\" target=\"_blank\">the introduction of GDPR<\/a> this month, in theory, organisations will have to report all data breaches &#8220;eventually leading to a reduction&#8221; as organisations are forced to take additional responsibilities in order to protect against cyber attacks.<\/p>\n<p>However, the report notes that despite there only being weeks to go until GDPR comes into force, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/gdpr-these-are-the-organisations-which-are-least-prepared\/\" target=\"_blank\">awareness of the legislation is &#8220;limited&#8221;<\/a> &#8211; especially amongst small and medium sized businesses.<\/p>\n<p>But there&#8217;s one thing the NCA points to as a certainty &#8211; that cybercriminals and crime groups will continue to target the UK.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The increasing sophistication of crime groups, coupled with the changing nature of their geographical reach, demonstrates more than ever the requirement for an increasingly co-ordinated response,&#8221; said NCA Director General Lynne Owens<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Working alongside our law enforcement, intelligence and other partners, we are changing the way we operate to ensure the biggest possible impact. We will use this intelligence assessment to build on our operational successes and evidence why further investment in capabilities and capacity is necessary.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ MORE ON CYBER
