It looks like the “it was Russia” drum beating in continuing as always. According to the UK cyber-defense chief Russia has been attacking Britain’s media, telecommunications and energy sectors over the past year. As a matter of fact it was reported that one of the attacks targeted the UK’s power supply on election day. You have to give the Russians credit for being a constant pain in the butt. However, nation-state cyber attacks are probably going to be considered an act of war and treated accordingly one of these days. It’s going to get real messy.



The NCSC was established about a year ago. Last month, it revealed that it had already classed a total of 590 attacks – from a variety of perpetrators – as being “significant”, and that more than 30 incidents had been judged serious enough to require a cross-government response.
