GCHQ Warns of Russian Cyber Attacks

Anne Keast-Butler, the director of GCHQ, is set to deliver a stark warning that Russia is 'relentlessly targeting' UK critical infrastructure and democratic institutions.

In her inaugural annual lecture, she will emphasize that the speed of Russian technological advancement is narrowing the window for the West to stay ahead.

The spy chief will urge a national effort to bolster cybersecurity, warning that the threat now extends from corporate boardrooms to private living rooms.

The speech comes as GCHQ draws up plans for a world-first national AI-powered cyber defense system.
