Hostile states behind three-quarters of attacks on Britain's critical infrastructure, cyber chief warns

This article reports that the UK’s cyber chief, Richard Horne, has shifted the government’s approach to cybersecurity, framing it as a ‘contest’ against hostile state actors rather than a ‘risk’ to be managed. He revealed that three-quarters of cyberattacks on Britain’s critical infrastructure are attributed to state actors, primarily from hostile governments, and highlighted the growing threat posed by campaigns like Volt Typhoon. The government is responding with new legislation and a national action plan to bolster defenses and address the evolving landscape of cyber warfare.
