A UK spy chief warns of Russia's relentless cyber threats to Britain
A U.K. spy chief is warning that Britain and its allies risk losing a cyber conflict against adversaries like Russia unless cybersecurity is treated with greater urgency.
Anne Keast-Butler, director of GCHQ, plans to say Wednesday that Moscow is targeting critical infrastructure and public trust in Britain and Europe.
She will highlight rapid advances in artificial intelligence and stress the need for urgent cybersecurity efforts.
This warning follows recent allegations of Russian-linked hackers targeting infrastructure in countries including Sweden and Poland.
Keast-Butler will emphasize the importance of international partnerships amid strained relations between London and Washington.
