Public to be told to stockpile food in case of cyber attack from Russia

The UK government is launching a public awareness campaign urging citizens to stockpile food, water, and cash in preparation for potential cyberattacks, particularly from Russia. This initiative is part of broader efforts to enhance national resilience against various threats, including severe weather and digital disruptions. The campaign includes a major defense exercise called Operation Albiston Shadow, aimed at testing both military and civilian readiness. Recent concerns include accusations against Russia for attempting to hack Poland's power grid, which could have caused widespread blackouts during winter. Additionally, the government has updated its National Risk Register to include new threats such as cyberattacks on critical infrastructure and foreign interference in democratic processes.
