Russia ‘aggressive’ and ‘reckless’ in cyber realm and threat to Nato, UK minister to warn
Pat McFadden will tell cyber summit that Russia ‘won’t think twice about targeting British businesses’ and danger to Nato must not be underestimated
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.
