NCSC Warns Charities of Cyber-Threats

The UK’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has released its first guidance document for charities, warning that the sector is “absolutely not immune” to attacks. The GCHQ spin-off penned a new blog post last week claiming that third sector workers may be overly trusting of unsolicited emails, making them more susceptible to social engineering. “Regardless of the size and nature of your charity or voluntary organization, you will hold information that is of value to a criminal. Also, you will all hold funds — however small — and any loss of money could be very damaging. Not only will it affect your ability to deliver your work, but it may also affect your funders' trust in your ability to manage their money and their details securely,” said the NCSC.
