Businesses are being warned that small- and medium-sized companies are increasingly being targeted by cybercriminals launching ransomware attacks

The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and Garda National Cyber Crime Bureau (GNCCB) have sent out a letter warning business owners that they are becoming the focus of attacks, rather than state bodies, larger organisations or critical infrastructure.
