Marks & Spencer's lengthy battle to bring its systems back online following a cyber-attack thrust the issue into the media and public spotlight earlier this year.
However, the list of cyber-attack victims this year also features travel brands like British Airways, LNER, Vietnam Airways and the Co-op, while the Jaguar Land Rover hack is thought to be the costliest in UK history.
So far, it’s been high-profile names that have gone public, and while no agent or operator has yet admitted to being hacked, it has happened – and will happen again.
