The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, which countries his Department classifies as threats with regards to offensive cyber operations.

Answered by Luke Pollard

The Ministry of Defence works closely with HMG partners to monitor, understand and counter the cyber threat to the UK from hostile states and organised criminals. In the last year, disruptive cyber activities against the UK and its partners have been attributed to Russian and Chinese state-affiliated actors; others based in Iran and North Korea also remain a threat to the UK.
