The UAE has foiled 86 cyber attacks already in 2018.
The Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) reported as many cyber attacks targeted at government, semi-government and private sector entities according to an ARN news report.
Attacks included ransomware, which threatens to publish the victim’s data or block access to it unless a ransom is paid, and attempts to disrupt official UAE government websites.
The UAE urges residents to remain vigilant to attacks, by downloading anti-virus software and not handing out personal information online unless to a verified source.
