A cyberincident reported every 8.5 minutes

07.11.2024 - Cyberthreats are increasing significantly: so far this year, the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has received, on average, a cyberincident report every 8.5 minutes. With 34,789 cyberincidents reported to the NCSC in the first half of 2024, numbers have almost doubled compared to the same period last year. The increase is due in particular to a massive rise in fraud attempts, which at 23,104 cases account for two thirds of all reports. Most of these cases involve telephone fraud, as explained in a separate report.
