Turks and Caicos Islands — Cyber Threat Profile
The Turks and Caicos Islands, a British Overseas Territory, has no territorial CERT and relies on the UK for major incident response. A ransomware attack disclosed on 19 December 2024 disrupted government revenue, welfare-payment, tax, and motor-vehicle systems; UK-funded forensic investigators supported a recovery lasting into January 2025. Opportunistic targeting continues: LockBit listed the Seven Stars Resort & Spa on its leak site in February 2026, and the Financial Services Commission warns licensees of rising phishing. The territory lacks comprehensive data-protection law; a Data Protection Act is expected in the 2026 financial year, alongside a three-year cybersecurity programme and a US$12 million digital-transformation package with a national digital ID due by end-2027. Exposure centres on tourism, government systems, and a smaller offshore-finance sector.- Secure Internet servers per 1M people (2024): 859.6 (source: World Bank)
