[London, 26/10/2022] Ransomware attacks in the UK are on the rise, and the country has become a top target globally for these attacks. According to a recent study of ransomware attack patterns conducted by NordLocker, business services, education, construction, transportation, and manufacturing industries are the most likely to be targeted.
