Cyber Attacks

The Report

Available for over a year

Cyber-attacks on international networks have targeted the computers used by the Dalai Lama's followers and the US power grid. Reporter and web expert Ben Hammersley assesses how serious these threats really are, how well protected the UK is against foreign cyber war and asks whether we should be developing our own aggressive military 'botnet' for use in future conflicts.
