Cyber attacks increasing by up to 50% in local councils across the UK

Sefton Council in the UK is battling over 30,000 cyber attacks monthly, contributing to an overall surge in global cybercrime incidents. Other councils, like Bristol, face increased risk due to outdated IT systems. On top of ongoing efforts to enhance security measures, Sefton Council plans to offer more training to staff, who are seen as the final line of defence against cyber incursions.
