Russia is prepared to launch a wave of cyber attacks on Britain – and can “turn the lights off for millions of people”, a minister will warn.<\/p>\n

Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Pat McFadden will tell a NATO<\/a><\/strong> conference next week allies must “not underestimate” the threat Moscow poses in its “hidden war”.<\/p>\n

Russia<\/a><\/strong> has targeted British energy infrastructure and “won’t think twice” about taking aim at businesses, he will say, as part of an attempt to degrade states supporting Ukraine.<\/p>\n

“With a cyber attack, Russia can turn the lights off for millions of people. It can shut down the power grids,” he will say in remarks first reported by The Sunday Telegraph.<\/p>\n

“Be in no doubt: the United Kingdom and others in this room are watching Russia.<\/p>\n

“We know exactly what they are doing, and we are countering their attacks both publicly and behind the scenes.”<\/p>\n

Britain has learned from history that appeasing dictators in aggression towards neighbours “only encourages them”, he’ll add.<\/p>\n

“That’s why we support Ukraine in its fight to decide its own destiny,” he will tell the NATO Cyber Defence Conference at Lancaster House.<\/p>\n

“Putin is a man who wants destruction, not peace. He is trying to deter our support for Ukraine with his threats.<\/p>\n

“He will not be successful.”<\/p>\n

The threat is “real”, he will warn, and nobody in NATO should underestimate Russia’s cyber threat.<\/p>\n

Mr McFadden is expected to specifically call out Unit 29155, a Russian military unit the government claims has been behind a number of attacks in the UK and Europe.<\/p>\n

“Unofficial hacktivists” not directly under the Kremlin’s control “are allowed to act with impunity so long as they’re not working against Putin’s interests”, he will say.<\/p>\n

It comes after South Korea, a NATO Indo-Pacific partner, was targeted in response to its monitoring of the deployment of North Korean troops to Russia.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
