when hackers stole sensitive patient

data in a Cyber attack on blood testing
0:05
services in June the impact reverberated
0:08
through the NHS in London thousands of
0:11
operations and outpatient appointments
0:15
postponed Russia was blamed as it has
0:18
been for targeting the UK's energy
0:20
infrastructure its political
0:22
institutions the media telecoms it means
0:26
for all President Putin's recent talk of
0:29
Unstoppable Miss Iles and the lowering
0:31
of the threshold for nuclear weapon use
0:34
the Unseen threat May well be just as
0:37
dangerous Russia will do everything in
0:39
its power to destabilize not only uh uh
0:44
within Ukraine but amongst the neighbor
0:46
uh NATO allies so we have to be
0:48
absolutely Vigilant in that as a
0:51
government but also in businesses and
0:53
wider Society to protect against those
0:56
cyber activists it's that unseen risk
0:59
that leading member of the government
1:01
will emphasize at a NATO conference on
1:04
Monday in his speech Pat mcfaden will
1:07
leave no doubt that the threat is real
1:10
that a Russian Cyber attack has the
1:12
power to switch off the lights for
1:14
Millions but there'll be a warning for
1:17
Vladimir Putin too that the United
1:19
Kingdom and others in the room know
1:22
exactly what Russia are doing and are
1:25
watching he'll also make clear to his
1:27
audience at Lancaster house that such
1:30
attacks are being countered both
1:32
publicly and behind the scenes although
1:35
it seems unlikely that will deter the
1:37
Russian president I think Putin um who
1:40
is the head of a very small Mafia like
1:43
cleck running a whole country uh is
1:46
interested in his own personal survival
1:49
his own wealth and that of that group
1:52
and he will do what he can to protect
1:55
himself and if he thinks that cyber
1:58
attacks are a way to do that he will do
2:00
it even though it's Reckless and
2:02
dangerous the capacity to disrupt has
2:04
already been seen it may be a hidden War
2:08
but the message is clear its potential
2:13
underestimated Emma Burley Sky News
