The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has issued an alert to critical national infrastructure (CNI) organisations warning of an emerging threat from state-aligned groups.
The NCSC – part of GCHQ – warned that some groups have stated the intent to launch “destructive and disruptive attacks”. CNI organisations should ensure they have taken steps outlined in the NCSC’s heightened threat guidance to strengthen their defences.
The threat comes particularly from state-aligned groups sympathetic to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the alert said.
These groups are not motivated by financial gain, or subject to control by the state, and so their actions can be less predictable and their targeting can be broader than traditional cyber crime actors.
