Council is hit by cyber criminals ‘every night’

CAUSEWAY Coast and Glens Council is being hit by cyber attacks “every night,” according to its Chief Executive.

The extent of digital and cyber threats to council data was revealed at a special meeting called last Monday to sign-off accounts for 2024/25.
