There have been numerous reports of cyberattacks directed on firms in the UK and Europe, including Talk Talk, J. D. Weatherspoon, Carphone Warehouse, and others. There will be a collective sigh of relief from the unaffected organizations, and let us be honest—any one of them could have been the target.The majority of European businesses now acknowledge the existence of targeted attacks, according to recently released Quocirca research. Of these, 24% believe that they will inevitably be targeted at some point, the majority are concerned, and only 6% are complacent, believing that the problem of targeted attacks is exaggerated or admitting to being ignorant of it.
