UK drinking water supplies disrupted by record number of undisclosed cyber incidents
A record number of cyber incidents impacted Britain’s critical drinking water supplies this year without being publicly disclosed, according to information obtained by Recorded Future News. The exact nature of these incidents is unclear, and they may include operational failures as well as attacks. Under British cybersecurity laws — known as the NIS Regulations — critical infrastructure companies are required to report “significant incidents” to the government within three days or face a fine of up to £17 million ($21 million).

Data centres as vital as NHS and power grid, government says
Data centres as vital as NHS and power grid, government says
Data centres in the UK are to be classified as critical national infrastructure, joining the emergency services, finance and healthcare systems, and energy and water supplies. It means they would get extra government support during a major incident, such as a cyber attack, an IT outage or extreme weather, in order to minimise disruption.

Cybercriminals operating ransomware as a service from overseas continue to be responsible for most high-profile cybercrime attacks against the UK
Cybercriminals operating ransomware as a service from overseas continue to be responsible for most high-profile cybercrime attacks against the UK
The deployment of ransomware remains the greatest serious and organised cybercrime threat, the largest cybersecurity threat, and also poses a risk to the UK’s national security. Ransomware attacks can have a significant impact on victims due to financial, data, and service losses, which can lead to business closure, inaccessible public services, and compromised customer data. Threat actors are typically based in overseas jurisdictions where limited cooperation makes it challenging for UK law enforcement to disrupt their activities.

APT41 Has Arisen From the DUST
APT41 Has Arisen From the DUST
  • In collaboration with Google’s Threat Analysis Group (TAG), Mandiant has observed a sustained campaign by the advanced persistent threat group APT41 targeting and successfully compromising multiple organizations operating within the global shipping and logistics, media and entertainment, technology, and automotive sectors. The majority of organizations were operating in Italy, Spain, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, and the United Kingdom. APT41 successfully infiltrated and maintained prolonged, unauthorized access to numerous victims' networks since 2023, enabling them to extract sensitive data over an extended period. APT41 used a combination of ANTSWORD and BLUEBEAM web shells for the execution of DUSTPAN to execute BEACON backdoor for command-and-control communication. Later in the intrusion, APT41 leveraged DUSTTRAP, which would lead to hands-on keyboard activity. APT41 used publicly available tools SQLULDR2 for copying data from databases and PINEGROVE to exfiltrate data to Microsoft OneDrive

'Welcome to Londonistan': the Great Replacement theory gone visual ahead of the U.K. election
'Welcome to Londonistan': the Great Replacement theory gone visual ahead of the U.K. election
The captions are vague, yet the implicit message is clear: Few people in the videos are white, which should concern you. It's what Dr. Beatriz Buarque, a politics researcher at the London School of Economics (LSE) who specializes in conspiracy theories and the digital politics of truth, calls "a visual representation of The Great Replacement theory," the far-right premise that non-white immigrants are part of a systematic scheme to replace white westerners and their culture. A conspiracy theory Dr. Buarque describes as "very dangerous," as it channels hate toward Muslim, Black, and brown individuals and portrays a segment of the population as invaders and enemies.
