Cybercrime is a growing threat across all businesses and sheep producers are not exempt. The NSA recognises the increasing threat of cybercrime and its responsibility towards helping to protect its members. "Hackers are getting cleverer, they keep changing their approaches and even the savviest of us can be caught out," says Chief Executive Phil Stocker."Although it's not 'good' news, it helps if members can share their experiences if they are affected by cybercrime so we can warn others," he adds. "It's an on-going battle."Mr Stocker speaks from experience too; finding out after some months that his credit card had run up a debt of ￡18,000, way over the credit limit and used in unusual places."It was several months before the card company picked up on this. The fraudsters had managed to get my bank to change my address, so that I didn't received my statements. Luckily the loss was covered by the card company, but it was a very unpleasant experience."
