Russia-aligned cyber groups sympathetic to the invasion of Ukraine have been trying to disrupt or destroy the UK’s infrastructure, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Oliver Dowden said on Wednesday.
In a keynote speech at the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC)’s annual cyber security event in Belfast, Dowden said the NCSC is issuing an official alert about these groups, which he said are “the cyber equivalent of the Wagner group”—a Russian paramilitary organisation.
