Weak password let hackers bring down 148-year-old logistics firm
A company that had traded for more than 150 years and employed 700 people was brought down because of a weak password. Logistics firm KNP went out of business after criminals successfully hacked into its computers by guessing an employee's password before locking the whole company out of its systems. The firm is one of thousands affected by cyber attacks, which have also hit high street giants including Marks and Spencer, Harrods and the Co-op. KNP director Paul Abbott said he had yet to tell the employee whose security details were compromised that the leak had led to the company's closure. The Nottinghamshire-based company, which operated 500 Knights of Old lorries, was plunged into chaos after a crime gang known as Akira demanded a ransom after locking all staff out of the systems required to run the business. A threatening note to the firm's bosses read: 'If you're reading this it means the internal infrastructure of your company is fully or partially dead…Let's keep all the tears and resentment to ourselves and try to build a constructive dialogue.' Unable to pay the high sum demanded by the criminals, KNP folded up. The government's cyber security survey found that an estimated 19,000 British companies had suffered ransom attacks in the last year, although exact figures are hard to ascertain as businesses are not required to reprot incidents or if they have paid a ransom to criminals to reclaim their data. Earlier this year, Marks and Spencer was thrown into chaos after falling victim to cyber criminals, taking their loyalty scheme Sparks offline and halting online sales. While KNP's cyber attackers didn't name a price for restoring their systems,ransoms typically start at millions of pounds. The average demand to UK companies is estimated to be £4million and approximately a third pay up. Richard Horne, CEO of the National Cyber Security Centre, said that businesses needed to improve their security amid what he called a 'wave of cyber attacks' over the last few years. As well as cracking passwords, hackers are also using lower tech methods to gain access to systems, including blagging their way in, sometimes through IT helpdesks. Experts also believe that the latest generation of hackers were learning their skills through gaming. James Babbage, the Director General of Threats at the National Crime Agency (NCA) said ransomware had become a 'national security threat in its own right'. He told BBC Panorama that companies were further fuelling the lucrative crime by paying up ransoms. 'Every victim needs to make their own choice, but it is the paying of ransoms which fuels this crime', he said.

Officers considering legal action against Police Scotland over Trump visit plans
The Scottish Police Federation (SPF), which represents 98% of all police officers in Scotland, said the force has already breached health and safety standards in the run up to the visit by the US president. Thousands of officers are expected to be involved in what Police Scotland has described as a 'significant policing operation'. The White House confirmed Mr Trump will visit his golf courses in Aberdeenshire and Ayrshire between July 25 and 29. He will meet the Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and the First Minister John Swinney during his private trip. The visit is likely to result in widespread protests, following similar demonstrations during his last visit to Scotland. David Kennedy, general secretary of the SPF, suggested planning for the visit has already put officers at risk. He said: 'We currently have workforce agreements in place to protect police officers and provide minimum standards of Health and Safety at work. 'Sadly, we have seen these agreements breached in the days leading to the arrival of Potus (President of the United States) and as such we are seeking legal advice regarding potential legal action against the service.' Speaking to STV News, Mr Kennedy said he had 'major concerns' about the plans to police Mr Trump's trip. He told the broadcaster: 'We do not have enough police officers in Scotland. 'Anyone that says we do, I don't know where they get those figures from. 'We know what police officers have to do day in, day out and we need more officers in Scotland. 'When these events come along that puts those officers that are here under so much pressure.' Police Scotland said earlier this month it would seek help from the Scottish and UK Governments over the 'considerable' cost of policing the visit. It has also asked for support from Northern Ireland's police force, the PSNI. There had been speculation the King would host the American leader in Scotland after a meeting was suggested at Balmoral or Dumfries House, in a letter he wrote to Mr Trump in February inviting him to make the state visit. But it is understood that both sides will wait until the president's official state visit later this year. Police Scotland's Assistant Chief Constable Emma Bond said: 'We are working closely with the Scottish Police Federation to address any concerns they may have.' A spokesperson for the PSNI said: 'There are well established processes for any UK-based police services to request support from other services at times of peak demand. 'These requests are managed via the National Police Co-ordination Centre (NPoCC) and we can confirm that PSNI have received a request to provide mutual aid to Police Scotland which we are currently assessing. 'The decision to provide officers under the mutual aid process will be considered against our own demands, ensuring that we retain the capacity to respond effectively to local issues and maintain our own operational competence.'
