"Across all regulated critical national infrastructure sectors, more NIS incidents have been reported this year than ever before, with the transport and drinking water sectors the most impacted. In 2024, there were at least six incidents affecting drinking water infrastructure, according to data collected by Recorded Future News using the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act. In previous years there were no more than two."
