NatWest Faces 100 Million Monthly Cyber Attacks Amid China-Linked Threats to UK, US Retailers and Drone Sector

British companies, particularly retailers, are facing a surge in cyber attacks, with NatWest alone experiencing around 100 million attacks monthly. Analysts have identified this wave of cyber threats as a critical national security issue, with many attacks reportedly originating from China. The threat is expanding beyond the UK, as US retailers have been warned by Google cybersecurity analyst John Hultquist to prepare for similar disruptions. The attacks are also targeting specific sectors such as the drone supply chain. This escalation highlights growing concerns over digital crime and cybersecurity vulnerabilities affecting both British and American retail industries.
