London’s Hackney Council has been forced to pay an incredible £12 million after its online services and IT systems were hit by a cyber-attack. The attack involved Pysa ransomware, which stole data from the council and published it on a dark web forum.  Julia O’Toole, CEO of MyCena Security Solutions, said: “As long as public sector organisations continue to let their employees create their own keys, there will be no respite. Organisations need to control their access keys and improve their resilience through encryption and segmentation.”
