Why some cyber-attacks hit harder than others

Contributed by Abigail Reed

This article talks about cyber attacks that the British Library had to deal with last year and how that has affected their digital content.

  2. I would also say that another term that may relate to this article is corporate negligence. If the library did not have good enough fire walls or something to better prepare themselves for these cyber attacks than it is corporate negligence
