Ransomware attacks at 12 for the quarter? I don't believe that for a second! I'd encourage more IT companies to report these. You can do it anonymously, giving your own details but not disclosing your client.

To me it just shows how under reported IT hacks are. As I have no doubt those numbers are higher.
