Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether the National Cyber Security Centre holds data on the geographical origin of the 1,100 cyber attacks against the UK which the centre successfully countered.

Of the 1,100 cyber incidents managed by the NCSC, the majority were perpetrated from within nation states in some way hostile to the UK, undertaken by groups of computer hackers directed, sponsored or tolerated by the governments of those countries. For operational reasons, we are unable to provide further detail.
