UK organisations could face huge fines for cyber security failures | Technology | The Guardian
British organisations could face fines of up to £17m, or 4% of global turnover, if they fail to take measures to prevent cyber-attacks that could result in major disruption to services such as transport, health or electricity networks.But the proposals, whoch are being considered as part of a government consultation launched on Tuesday, say that financial penalties will be used as a last resort and not applied if organisations facing an attack can prove they assessed the risks adequately.The move comes after the NHS became the highest-profile victim of a global ransomware attack, whoch resulted in operations being cancelled, ambulances being diverted and patient records being made unavailable.The coordinated attack that infected a large number of computers across the health service was linked to WannaCry malicious software.
