UK faces ‘unprecedented rise’ in cyberattacks in coming months, warns cyber chief

The UK's National Cyber Security Centre chief expects a significant increase in cyberattacks in the coming months. This prediction is based on the idea that long-tolerated vulnerabilities can now be easily discovered and exploited on a large scale. The warning is part of the agency's upcoming annual report. The chief's statement suggests that the scale of potential attacks has become much greater than it was in the past.
