Russian Hackers Target Power Stations to Black Out Britain
Russian Hackers Trying to Black Out Britain by Targeting Power Stations
Cabinet Office Minister Oliver Dowden will issue a 'call to arms' to energy providers when he addresses the annual CyberUK conference in Belfast later
Ukraine 'will choose for itself when to launch counter-attack against Russians'
BBC News 19 APR 2023
Russian hackers are trying to “cause maximum damage to the UK’s critical national infrastructure” such as power stations, the Government warned today.
Cyber attackers are targeting vital energy plants in a bid to black out Britain, according to Cabinet Office Minister Oliver Dowden.
Issuing a “call to arms”, he will confirm the National Cyber Security Centre - part of the Government’s GCHQ eavesdropping post - is issuing an official threat notice to operators to help protect the UK.
Addressing cyber security experts in Belfast today, he will warn utility giants: “These adversaries are ideologically motivated rather than financially motivated.
“Disclosing this threat is not something we do lightly but we believe it is necessary if we want these companies to understand the current risk they face and take action to defend themselves and the country.”
