Britain warns Iran it will not tolerate hostile activity on UK soil
Britain’s National Cyber Security Centre said last week that Iranian state-linked hackers had used spyware to steal emails, messages and other sensitive information.
British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband warned Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi that Britain will not tolerate any hostile activity or threats from groups linked to Iran on UK soil, according to Sky News. The two met at the United Nations General Assembly in New York. The meeting discussed various topics including the war in the Middle East, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and Britain's commitment to combating threats from Iranian-linked groups within the UK.
The National Cyber Security Centre in Britain revealed that Iranian state-linked cyber actors have been using a spyware called CHOSEN BRICK to steal sensitive information through spear-phishing campaigns on platforms like WhatsApp and Telegram. However, the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office has yet to provide a comment on the matter.
