According to ITProPortal, the UK’s Student Loans Company (SCL) was hit by more than 5,000,000 email attacks last year, new figures from Griffin Law suggest. Data obtained via a Freedom of Information (FOI) Act request suggests the organisation encountered 10,125 malware attacks and 19,188 phishing attacks – the remaining 5,415,960 were spam. The SCL says it managed to successfully defend itself from all the attacks.
