 |
|
Interesting comments by George Osborne when visiting GCHQ. Whilst acknowledging ISIS don't have the technology yet he is as well as admitting that most other big nations do
| Quote: | Mr Osborne - who visited the GCHQ listening station in Cheltenham - said IS has already proved its ability to exploit the internet "for hideous propaganda purposes", including for radicalisation and operational planning.
But the chancellor warned that IS was also seeking to hack key UK infrastructure in a bid to kill people.
Mr Osborne also said GCHQ is monitoring threats to 450 companies in areas such as defence, energy and water supply.
"From our banks to our cars, our military to our schools, whatever is online is also a target," Mr Osborne said.
"The stakes could hardly be higher. If our electricity supply, or our air traffic control, or our hospitals were successfully attacked online, the impact could be measured not just in terms of economic damage but of lives lost."
He added: "They do not yet have that capability. But we know they want it, and are doing their best to build it."
