Wirral Council is concerned about cyber threats from Russia due to the war in Ukraine as a report said 15 areas of the council are at risk.
A council report warned that the local authority's security was "insufficient" to deter and prevent unauthorised access or hacking
The report said this could result in “data breach and loss of access to data and disruption to Council services with increased financial costs.” It added that the level of risk had increased “to reflect increased global threads in particular as a result of war in Ukraine.”
