Types of cyber attack could include, but are not limited to: ransomware, denial of service, phishing and spear phishing etc. By data, I am referring to any information held on your computer systems or devices
Please could you answer the following:-

- Where cyber attacks were successful, what kind of data and what amount of data, if any, was lost or stolen? Was it confidential?
