The United Kingdom has warned that the country is facing an intensifying wave of cyber threats, with officials saying that the most damaging attacks on the country are linked to state-backed actors rather than from criminal hackers.
Speaking at the CyberUK conference, National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) chief Richard Horne said the agency is now handling around four 'nationally significant' cyber incidents each week, which officials say are being carried out by hostile states - primarily Russia, China, and Iran.
