BIRMINGHAM: China poses a real and increasing computer threat to the United Kingdom, the head of English detective agency GCHQ said on Tuesday, adding that while Russia and Iran represented an immediate danger, Beijing was an epoch- defining challenge.
” As the prime minister said yesterday, the next few years may be some of the most risky and transformational”, Anne Keast- Butler told a safety meeting in Birmingham, key England.
Keast- Butler stated that Iran was still intense in cyberspace, and that the threat from Russia was severe and widespread in her first big public address since she was appointed director of the intelligence communications agency next year.
” In cyberspace, we believe that the PRC’s ( People’s Republic of China ) irresponsible actions weaken the security of the internet for all, and the greatest challenge is posed by China”, she said.
