A letter from U.S. Congress accuses the UK government of attempting a foreign cyberattack via political means by demanding that Apple compromise its security system for spy access. Senators Wyden and Biggs threaten to reevaluate intelligence-sharing agreements, including Five Eyes, if the UK does not reverse this demand. The letter highlights a rare bipartisan issue, drawing attention to potential ramifications on U.S.-UK relations regarding cybersecurity. The British authorities have not yet responded to these serious allegations, which could lead to significant changes in international intelligence cooperation.
If the U.K. does not immediately reverse this dangerous effort, we urge you to reevaluate U.S.-U.K. cybersecurity arrangements and programs as well as U.S. intelligence sharing with the U.K.
This unprecedented letter from the US Congress accuses the UK of a foreign cyberattack waged through political means, igniting discussions about national security.
