Nov 25, 2024
London [UK], November 25: 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 Monday. Pat McFadden, whose portfolio includes national security, will tell a NATO cyber security conference in London that Moscow "won't think twice about targeting British businesses", according to excerpts of his address released 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.
