Context
The National Cyber Security Centre has published an article with the latest figures from GCHQ’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and BT.
Almost one billion early-stage cyber-attacks and attempts to access scam websites have been blocked by a new government cyber service in less than a year.
Key points to note and next actions
Online content such as fake shops, phishing sites and malicious links, including from emails reported to the NCSC by the public, are being blocked automatically providing better protection at scale. Individuals and organisations should remain alert to possible fraudulent or malicious websites.
