Is your mobile spying on you?

There is a general worry about Chinese companies, particularly those that manufacture critical infrastructure components.

Already, UK telecommunications companies have been warned not to use equipment manufactured by ZTE (a state-owned

company), for fears of having too much Chinese equipment

running critical infrastructure.

And now the CEO of the NCSC, Ciaran Martin, has warned

that we’re likely to see a major state-sponsored cyber attack.

In a recent report, Martin said: “I remain in little doubt we will

be tested to the full, as a center, and as a nation, by a major

incident at some point in the years ahead, what we would call

a Category 1 attack.”

Category 1 attacks are those defined as causing sustained

disruption of essential services or affecting national security,

causing severe economic or social consequences, or even

loss of life.

It’s a brave new world out there, and what was once science

fiction and the stuff of exciting stories is rapidly becoming

science fact. Yet the knowledge of this helps prepare defenses

against such attacks.
