The UK has named China as the dominant threat to national cybersecurity after a series of hacks and breaches involving British government departments and critical infrastructure.
“China remains the pacing threat in the cyber realm,” Richard Horne, the chief of Britain’s National Cyber Security Center, said in a rare speech on Wednesday. “The continued activity that we’re seeing come from the Chinese system remains a cause for profound and profuse concern,” he warned, describing Beijing as an “adversary.”
