The UK’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) said AI-powered ransomware is highly likely to target critical national infrastructure by 2028, warning of significant disruption risk. The agency framed the threat as a near-term operational and systemic risk rather than a speculative scenario, urging enhanced cybersecurity measures. The warning matters for financial institutions, insurers, and infrastructure operators assessing cyber risk and resilience.
