Ransomware continues to be the United Kingdom’s most prominent cybersecurity threat, and the country can expect to see a surge in destructive attacks in 2023, warns the former head of the UK’s national cybersecurity agency.

He adds that recent hacks against The Guardian newspaper and the British Royal Mail are an example of these early-stage attacks.
