Pandemic presents new cyber security challenges

A time of crisis brings out the best in many people, but sadly the worst in a few. Action Fraud warns that £2 million has already been lost to coronavirus-related fraud in the UK as cyber criminals take advantage of the current pandemic. The phrase ‘no honour among thieves’ springs to mind. And this is just one in a steady stream of headlines about the scams, attacks and campaigns launched by those hoping to make a quick buck off individuals, infrastructure and businesses.


Clearly, cyber space is another area of our lives in which we need to be taking more care today. As lockdown conditions have resulted in us conducting almost all aspects of our professional and personal lives via the internet, we need to put our security front and centre to keep ourselves, our data and our money safe.

This applies to individuals and businesses alike. At Nominet, as the registry for the .UK namespace and therefore critical national infrastructure, we are incredibly conscious of keeping our networks and servers secure and free from criminal activity.
