Cyber attacks 'acts of war' - Sir Richard Mottram


A cyber attack by one state on another could be considered an "act of war", Tony Blair's former top national security adviser has said.
Sir Richard Mottram told a House of Lords inquiry new "laws of war" were needed to cope with such a threat.
He also criticised the EU after the multi-million pound theft of carbon credits, saying its apparent lack of cyber security "took my breath away".
It comes amid claims the threat of cyber war is being exaggerated.
