Brace for Russian Cyber Attacks as Ukraine Crisis Deepens, Britain Warns

Britain warned big business on Friday to bolster defences against possible Russian cyber attacks as Western fears deepened that President Vladimir Putin would order his troops to annex another part of Ukraine.
The United States, the European Union and Britain have repeatedly warned Putin against attacking Ukraine after Russia deployed around 100,000 troops near the border with its former Soviet neighbour.
Russian officials say the West is gripped by Russophobia and has no right to lecture Moscow on how to act after it expanded the NATO military alliance eastwards after the 1991 fall of the Soviet Union and sowed chaos in Iraq and Syria.

Britain’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), a part of the GCHQ eavesdropping intelligence agency, warned large organisations to bolster their cyber security resilience amid the deepening tensions over Ukraine.

The world’s top cyber offensive powers are the United States, the United Kingdom, Russia and China, according to a 2020 ranking by the Belfer Center at Harvard’s Kennedy School.
Britain’s spymasters say Russia remains the biggest immediate threat to the West but Communist China’s long-term dominance of technology poses a much bigger problem.

“UK organisations are being urged to bolster their cyber security resilience in response to the malicious cyber incidents in and around Ukraine,” Britain’s National Cyber Security Centre said.
