"Russia is “exceptionally aggressive and reckless in the cyber realm” and “no
one should underestimate” the threat to Nato, a senior UK minister will warn in
a speech on Monday.
Pat McFadden, whose portfolio includes national security, will tell a Nato
cybersecurity conference in London that Moscow “won’t think twice about
targeting British businesses”, according to excerpts of his address released on
Sunday by his ministry.
He will also note that “unofficial hacktivists” given “impunity” by the Kremlin
are committing “increasingly frequent, and in some cases, increasingly
sophisticated” attacks around the world.
That includes the recent targeting of South Korea “in response to its
monitoring of the deployment of North Korean troops” to Russia.
The accusations come as tensions between Russia and the west have escalated
dramatically, with Vladimir Putin warning that the war in Ukraine had the
characteristics of a “global” conflict.
The growing frictions have sparked fresh unease in London and other western
capitals that Putin may step up cyber-attacks and other non-military measures."
