“Last night I was yarning to the former Head of Google Asia, Charif Elansari who is now chief executive of Dropsuite Limited — a listed company that specialises in data base back ups for small enterprises. Clearly he has a bias towards boosting his enterprise but he is also frightened by the speed, depth and impact of this global cyber attack which indicates that not only are attacks going to continue, but they are going to get more disruptive to businesses”
