The UK has accused Russia's Security Service, the FSB, of engaging in a prolonged cyber-hacking campaign aimed at politicians and individuals in the public eye. The government alleges that one faction within the FSB orchestrated cyber-attacks to pilfer data, subsequently disclosing it publicly, including materials linked to the 2019 election. Despite Russia consistently refuting involvement in such activities, Foreign Secretary David Cameron condemned the group's actions as "completely unacceptable." Former Prime Minister Cameron affirmed the commitment to collaborate with allies to expose Russian covert cyber activities and hold Russia accountable.
In a shocking development, the British Library recently fell victim to a major cyber attack resulting in the exposure of sensitive employee data. With cyber attacks on the rise and organizations constantly facing the threat of data breaches, this incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of robust cybersecurity measures.
