Most serious cyberattacks against the UK from Russia, Iran and China, cyber chief will say
The head of the U.K.'s National Cyber Security Centre warns that hostile nations like Russia, Iran and China are behind the most serious cyberattacks in the U.K. In a speech Wednesday, Richard Horne will emphasize that British businesses need to prepare for large-scale cyberattacks, especially if the U.K. becomes involved in international conflicts. Recently, countries like Sweden and Poland have reported Russian-linked attacks on critical infrastructure. Horne will highlight that while ransomware is common, state-sponsored cyberattacks pose the greatest threat. He urges companies to understand these risks and improve defenses before it's too late.
