More than seven in 10 large charities have fallen victim to cyber attacks or breaches in the past year, new research from the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport has found. A report based on the research, the Cyber Security Breaches Survey 2018, found that 73 per cent of the charities with annual incomes of more than £5m that took part in the survey had fallen victim to cyber attacks or breaches over the past year. The report says that, despite the prevalence of cyber security breaches in the sector, only 21 per cent of all charities have a cyber security policy in place, and only 8 per cent have an existing cyber security incident management process.
