The threat of cyber-attacks is weighing on the minds of business leaders as the new year gets underway. A new survey from KPMG Australia has found the most recent data breaches affecting Latitude Financial and Optus have shaken the corporate world. More than 40 per cent of executives say cyber threats are their main concern in 2024. This is up four places from last year. Other concerns include finding talent as well as dealing with regulations and costs in an inflationary environment.
Staff at a western Sydney radiologist – recently hit with a cyber attack – were told to tell concerned patients the breach was “an operational IT issue”, while also fielding harassing phone calls from hackers themselves.
