According to a recent Parliamentary investigation, the European Government has been asked to strengthen its cyber security which is leaving the whole continent susceptible cyber attack.
The House of Lords reported that the Government has acted extremely negligent to improve internet Defenses, plus kill the co-operation gap between not just EU nations, but also NATO.
Most of the services like information, communication and commerce in European countries are highly dependent on the internet. And because the internet is globally interlinked, reports suggest that the radical variation among safety procedures in Europe leaves the whole system weak.
Lord Joplin, Chairman of the Lords European Union committee, said, "The collapse of cyber systems in one country can overlap into others".
He also said that the threat can come anywhere including "individual businesses, financial services such as the City, critical infrastructure or the mechanics of government … and you never know quite who is responsible, which is part of the problem".
Britain was believed to have full-bodied online defenses, like the ones of Estonia, but few years ago, it fell prey to an attack which took its online banking system down.
Joplin added, "It was a relatively minor attack, but their defenses were very poor indeed - so the strike had a major impact".
In fact, UK was ranked near the top of European countries when it came to online defense.
