The M&S hack caused around £300 million in lost profits, and the theft of customer data. The Jaguar Land Rover cyberattack, however, was the most damaging in British history, with an estimated cost to the British economy of £1.9 billion. If Jaguar Land Rover had not been bailed out by the government, the company would have collapsed. The healthcare industry

The NHS Resolution Annual Report and Accounts for the period 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025 were recently presented to Parliament. They show some interesting and important trends. In 2024/25, the NHS received 14,428 claims and paid out £3.1 billion in compensation and associated costs on all their clinical schemes, of which £620.9 million was claimant’s legal costs.
