UK businesses suffered the highest increase globally in costs associated with DNS attacks, with a fifth suffering the loss of sensitive data, according to the latest figures from EfficientIP.

It revealed that 77% of organizations were hit by a DNS attack in 2018, with the average firm suffering seven attacks.

DNS attacks come in various flavors, but usually involve denial of service, infecting DNS infrastructure with malware designed to take the user to malicious sites, or exfiltrating data via DNS tunneling techniques.

The global average cost per DNS attack increased by 57% year-on-year, but in the UK the figure soared 105%, with firms paying nearly $4m annually.
In fact, UK financial services firms faced on average eight attacks, more than any other industry, according to the report. These cost an average of £681,000 per attack, equating to around £5.4m each year.
