Businesses are in dire need of upping their cybersecurity protocols.
Earlier this month, thanks to new GDPR laws, the Financial Conduct Authority fined Tesco Bank a whopping £16.4 million for failing to appropriately address a cyber attack in November 2016. The criminals made off with £2.26 million, leaving Tesco Bank in deep remorse and with a damaged reputation.
However, Tesco was not the only institution to be caught in a cyber fix; organisations like Dixons Carphone, Facebook, British Airways and Superdrug have all also fallen victim to data hacks.
