Over 300 UK Firms Hit by Ransomware in a Year

Report Fraud data shows that over 300 UK firms fell victim to ransomware attacks within a year, with more than half being small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The findings highlight the vulnerability of smaller organizations to ransomware threats.

Why it matters: SME security teams and executives should review their ransomware defenses and incident response plans, as their organizations represent a significant share of UK ransomware targets.
