China and Russia accused of cyber warfare attacks

A BRITISH government adviser has accused Russia and China of carrying out cyber warfare attacks aimed at stealing national security secrets from other countries.

Baroness Neville-Jones, the prime minister’s special representative to business on cyber security, said Moscow and Beijing were among the governments “interested in this kind of activity”.

Her comments come on the eve of an international conference hosted by foreign secretary William Hague to discuss “norms of acceptable behaviour in cyberspace”.
