Claim :Putin to push a new wave of cyber attacks on Britain
 
BBC News Text:
[A minister will warn at a
Nato conference tomorrow
that Russia is ready to "launch a wave
of cyber attacks on Britain"
and leave millions without power,
says the Sunday Telegraph.
The paper's lead reports that Pat McFadden
will tell the gathering of allies that
the Russia is trying to weaken
their support for Ukraine,
with President Vladimir Putin
ready and able to order a "destabilising
and debilitating" electronic attack.]

This sounds like an empty threat.

Nicky91 24-11-2024 08:03 AM

yes i agree Mock, same with those many nuclear threats


more like doing this for the west to stop supporting Ukraine



i doubt Putin has serious intention of attacking non-former soviet union countries though, this is more something between russia and other ex-soviet union countries

If we weren't so utterly reliant on digital tech it wouldn't be much of a threat. As it is, there is no plan B.

Not mine. When I worked with MPs, so many of the visitors to surgeries were because of trouble with online banking, lost money that the banks wouldn't refund, accounts being hacked and people losing out. I administer my credit card online but my banking I still do in person. Nothing would induce me to have an online account, I'd rather drive 20 miles in to Norwich. If the bank is hacked, that's their problem, they will still be liable to pay me my money.
