@steven: Could a Russian cyberattack bring the UK to a standstill? Political scientist Robert Pape explains why he believes the UK’s advice to stock up on essential supplies is linked to the risk of a Russian cyberattack. He warns that an attack on critical infrastructure could disrupt electricity, communications, banking and supply chains, with consequences far beyond the digital world. While he stresses that an attack is not inevitable, Pape believes the public should understand the risk and be prepared. He notes that Britain hasn't made a call like this since the Cold War. #politics #russia #stockup #uk #thediaryofaceo
