Cyber criminals hold Britain's boardrooms to ransom
Cyber attacks have impacted 52% UK firms & cost them £44bn
over past 5 years
The cyber attacks in the news have been aimed at Marks & Spencer,
the Co-op and Harrods, but this is not just a issue for
retailers. Hackers can strike almost any firm, in any line
of business, at any time and anywhere in the world.
The terrifying truth for business leaders – and for investors –
is that the risk is practically universal. FTSE 100 bosses
and entrepreneurs running small firms are living in fear they
could be next.
Cyber attacks have cost UK companies £44 billion in lost
revenue over the past five years and have affected 52 per ve
cent of firms, says insurance broker Howden.
. . .
If true, this is BAD.
ONLY solution ... shift back to a pre-net biz
model. Paper catalogs, paper orders, paper
instruments, HUMANS involved.
MANY have said the 'convenience' of all-net
have actually been convenience for CRIME were
NOT wrong. It has become abundantly clear that
the criminals, or Vlad/Xi's boyz, are ALWAYS
ahead of the security curve.
Now the PRICE of that crime has escalated out
of control and can only get much WORSE.
So - DECIDE. Time's up.
