Summary

Britain's cyber chief says the U.K. is likely to face artificial intelligence cyberattacks on its critical infrastructure by 2028, The Independent reported on Tuesday 3 November, The Guardian writing that the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) expects attacks on critical facilities such as power stations, airports and hospitals. Artificial intelligence is 'helping to industrialise cyber attacks' and is 'highly likely' to be used in attacks on Britain's critical national infrastructure by 2028, the NCSC has warned, Sky News reported, and the Financial Times wrote that the head of the NCSC is set to warn that security defences, particularly for critical infrastructure, are inadequate, headlining that Chinese and Russian AI cyber attacks will be routine by 2028, says GCHQ. Vulnerabilities tolerated for far too long can now be discovered and exploited at an unimaginable scale, the NCSC chief says, according to The Independent, and Euronews reported that criminals and hostile states are increasingly using artificial intelligence to scale up cyber operations, with outdated technology leaving essential services exposed, the head of the NCSC says.
