   UK hit by record-breaking four 'nationally significant' cyberattacks each week

   Description:   
   CEOs and chairs urged to take "concrete action" and secure their businesses   
   against rising threats.   
      
   FULL STORY   
      
   The United Kingdom is facing an unprecedented amount of nationally    
   significant cyberattacks every week, the National Cyber Security Centre    
   (NCSC) said in its 2024 annual review.    
      
   The review, set to be published today, states that the NCSC was called to   
   assist with 429 attacks between September 2024, and late August 2025. Of    
   these 429, 204 were labeled nationally significant representing a more than   
   100% jump compared to the 89 attacks with the same label in 2024.    
      
   If these figures werent alarming enough, the NCSC explained that out of the   
   204 attacks, 18 were highly significant, having a serious impact on central   
   government, UK essential services, a large proportion of the UK population,    
   or the UK economy.   
      
   Concrete action    
      
   Being nationally significant doesnt necessarily mean targeting the UK   
   government - the private sector is included as well, as long as the attack is   
   large or disruptive enough.    
      
   One of the incidents mentioned is the attack on Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) ,   
   which Lucas Kello, the director of the University of Oxford's Academic Centre   
   of Excellence in Cyber Security Research, described as more than a company   
   outage and an economic security incident.    
      
   If disruption drags on for weeks or months, it imperils the governments   
   central growth mission. How can Britain achieve the highest sustained growth   
   in the G7 if its top exporting sector stalls? he asked.    
      
   Elsewhere in the review, the NCSC said it would urge chief executive officers   
   and chairs of the countrys biggest organizations to take concrete actions to   
   better defend their businesses from the rising threat.    
      
    Ransomware attacks, cyber-espionage, and Distributed Denial of Service (    
   DDoS ) attacks are rampant. Just earlier this week, threat actors known as   
   Scattered Lapsus$ Hunters leaked sensitive data from more than 40 major   
   businesses , as part of their Salesforce / Salesloft attacks. Besides JLR,   
   other notable British businesses mentioned include Co-op and Marks & Spencer.
