The Rising Cyber Threats Facing the United Kingdom

As cybercriminal forums and marketplaces flourish, access to sensitive data, credentials, and cyber weaponry has become easier. Threat actors, often with geopolitical motivations, have been selling UK-based organizations’ data, compromising companies’ and individuals’ privacy and security.

War on the Ground, War in Cyberspace

SOCRadar has detected an increase in phishing attempts as attackers started targeting the U.K. after the developments on the battlefield. Phishing campaigns designed to steal credentials or install malware are increasingly targeting U.K. citizens and businesses.

In this report, we also explore how developments on the battlefield have direct correlations to cyber activities. As tensions rise or fall, so too do the corresponding cyber operations. State-sponsored groups have been known to launch cyberattacks in tandem with physical offensives, using disruption tactics to weaken adversaries’ critical infrastructure. As an ally of Ukraine, the UK remains a key target for such retaliatory cyber efforts.
