DHAKA: Business leaders have called for urgent action to tackle cyber-crime after an attack on TalkTalk, a British Telecom Group, calling it one of the biggest threats facing companies.

The Institute of Directors (IoD) of UK said only “serious breaches” made the headlines, but attacks on British businesses “happen constantly”, reports the BBC.

The UK government replied by saying it was “committed to tackling cyber-crime”.

It comes as police are investigating a ransom demand from a group purporting to be behind the TalkTalk attack.
