🇬🇧💻📃 — 📰 Sky News: UK could be brought to a halt 'at any moment' by cyberattack, report warns
➡️ The UK is unprepared for a large-scale ransomware attack and "at any moment" could be brought to a standstill, a new report says.
➡️ Parliament's Joint Committee on the National Security Strategy (JCNSS) said responsibility for tackling ransomware attacks should be taken off the Home Office - which the report accuses of giving political priority to other issues - and given to the Cabinet Office and overseen directly by the deputy prime minister.
➡️ In its report, the JCNSS says the UK's regulatory frameworks are insufficient and outdated, and warns that large swathes of critical national infrastructure remain vulnerable to ransomware because they rely on legacy IT systems.
➡️ It says there has been a failure to sufficiently invest in safeguards to prevent a major crisis, despite government agencies like the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) warning about ransomware attacks, particularly from groups linked to Moscow, Beijing, and Pyongyang.
