Travel firms offered free tech to fight cybercrime
Free technology to fight cybercrime is to be offered to travel companies.
The US-based Global Cyber Alliance, of which UK organisation Prevention of Fraud in Travel is a founding partner, will launch the initiative on May 30.
It aims to reduce the risk of spam, phishing emails, ransomware and cyberattacks on travel and tourism companies.
The initiative follows a major cyber breach at Abta in February that affected 43,000 people and up to 650 Abta members.
Profit chairman Barry Gooch said: “We have seen a big increase in this type of crime and we are working with a global police network to stop this.
