Reports of cyber attacks fall, says UK.gov survey: GDPR? Fewer nasties? More targeted attacks? We just don't know

Other than a compliance issue, what's the point of reporting a 'cyber attack'? And who to?

<sniff> Is that the smell? <sniff>

Of the unintended consequences of GDPR?

I expect we'll see in a couple more years.

The number of corporate attacks may have fallen, but that doesn't explain the sudden rise in the number of emails I'm getting (to multiple mail accounts) for 'Property Investment Opportunity in <insert Northern Powerhouse city of choice> City Centre' or 'I've recorded you watching Porn, you naughty boy. Send Bitcoin to ...'

Business as usual then?

Thing is they get it decrypted - how do they know the data has not been tampered with? These are for court cases, seems to be doubt could be thrown over any use of evidence from this lot where results etc were recorded and hit by malware later.
