The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has issued a stark warning regarding the future of cyber security in the United Kingdom, stating that the nation is on the brink of a moment of 'enormous consequence'. According to the NCSC's annual report, hackers are increasingly likely to leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance their attacks, with a particular focus on ransom demands. The report suggests that by the year 2028, the use of AI in cyber attacks targeting the UK will be 'highly likely'. This warning comes amid growing concerns about the sophistication of cyber threats, which have been evolving rapidly in recent years.
