A survey of security professionals in six countries, including the UK, by the Ponemon Institute found 90% had been hit by at least one successful attack.
Staff in the utilities, energy, health and transport sectors were questioned.

Of those responding, nine out of 10 said the organisation they worked for had been damaged by a successful cyber-attack in the last two years. Many reported being hit by between three and six such incidents.
'Troubling picture'
Prof Alan Woodward, of the University of Surrey's Cyber Security Centre, questioned the unexpectedly high response rate in the survey but added: "Even if the results are perhaps slightly higher than might otherwise be the case, because the group is self-selecting, this data as a whole still paints a troubling picture.

"The data also reveals worrying themes, such as a lack of skilled staff or appropriate incident response plans to mitigate the attacks."
