Cyber Attacks
See notes
1. Please could I request, under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, the number of cyber attacks your local authority has been subject to for each of the past ten years, beginning with 2015.
In response to this FOI Request, we do not count or keep track on the number of cyber-attacks that the Council has been subjected to, therefore we are unable to respond with any meaningful data because we simply do not collect or keep it.
We have been keeping track of "cyber threats", which could be something like a suspicious email, or "suspicious telephone call" and over the past 10 months, an average of 71 "cyber threats" were recorded, and most were false alerts.
