Cyber attacks on UK hit 1,000 a month, says GCHQ chief

Cyber terrorists and foreign states launch 1,000 malicious attacks on Britain every month, the head of GCHQ revealed yesterday. In his first public appearance, Iain Lobban revealed that his spies have found 20,000 hostile emails on government computer networks. The director of the Cheltenham intelligence centre said the threat of cyber attacks on critical infrastructure – such as nuclear power stations – was both real and credible. (Daily Mail)
