GCHQ Warns Russia Relentlessly Targeting UK Infrastructure

GCHQ director Anne Keast-Butler will use her inaugural annual lecture on Wednesday to declare that Russia is conducting a sustained campaign against Britain's critical infrastructure and democratic institutions. She will also warn that the technological window to stay ahead of China is narrowing fast, framing the moment as a "new era of radical uncertainty." The speech coincides with UK sanctions on Huobi, a crypto exchange linked to billionaire Justin Sun, for helping Russia evade economic pressure.
