"Millions of pounds of taxpayers' money has been handed to cyber criminals in recent years, Britain's security minister said as he unveiled proposals to combat ransomware attacks."
"Dan Jarvis also suggested hostile actors could have extorted thousands more from organisations like the NHS without the Government knowing because there is no mandatory reporting regime."
"The Home Office on Tuesday launched a consultation on how to crack down on ransomware, with plans to ban all public sector bodies from making payments under consideration."
"Mr Jarvis said cyber criminals based in countries like Russia are quite literally holding our country to ransom and warned the problem was extensive."
