New NICVA resource on cyber security

A new resource, offering advice on how to improve your cyber security and links to information on dealing with cyber attacks, has this week been published by NICVA (The Northern Ireland Council for Voluntary Action)

The resource, available at Advice for those experiencing cyber attacks | NICVA, was published following the news that hackers had stolen data from charities and community organisations in a cyber attack on a Londonderry-based IT company.

The company, Evide, manages data for about 140 organisations across the island of Ireland and the UK. Specialist cyber crime officers from the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) are investigating.
