Last week Leeds United decided to beef up their security amid the threat of cyber criminals breaching their systems - commissioning Barracuda Networks to secure email systems and defending against ransomware. The cat-and-mouse battle between athletes who cheat and those who try to find them has gone digital.

Top secret data at United had fallen into the hands of a 'organised cyber criminals', who attempted to hold the club to ransom for millions of pounds.
