Media outlets are reporting that Hackney Council in London has been the target of a serious cyberattack, which is affecting many of its services and IT systems.
This is the latest attack to hit a UK local council in recent months – in February Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council said it had been hit by a ransomware attack, which cost it more than £10m.
