According to CoinMeta, and as reported by The Times, senior members of the UK Ministry of Defence are deploying "hunting teams" overseas to disrupt enemy hackers who are preparing to paralyze the UK's military systems. In these highly sensitive operations, British military personnel are regularly sent abroad to nip cyberattacks in the bud before they can escalate into large-scale attacks. The Commander of the UK Defence Cyber and Electromagnetic Forces, Mike Fayers, stated that although some progress has been made, he is still concerned that there may be hidden malware within the military networks that could be suddenly activated and cause severe damage in the event of a war. Currently, teams are working around the clock to prevent such a scenario from occurring. Prior to this, refrigerators and freezing equipment across Europe have already been targeted by hackers.
