UK Issues Warning of Russian Hackers Targeting Critical Infrastructure

UK officials have warned that Russian hackers are seeking to "disrupt or destroy" Britain's critical infrastructure and not enough is being done to stop them. The National Cyber Security Centre has issued an official threat notice to operators of Britain's electricity, water, and other critical systems, telling them to boost their defenses. The threat comes from hackers sympathetic to Russia, though not necessarily directed by the Russian state. The National Cyber Security Centre also warned about the "dramatic rise of China as a technology superpower."
