“Some foreign states lead cybervarov against us every day. We will protect yourself from cyber supports if they are dangerous, malicious or damage,” he threatened. Wallace noted that offensive cyberspecies can be used for these purposes. In particular, with their help you can neutralize the extortionate programs or spyware. In addition, this kind of toolkit can be used to pursue pedophiles, terrorists and their networks, add politician.
In an interview, Wallace also said that the Office of the National Cybernetic Forces of Great Britain will be built in the north-west of England in Lancashire County. About 5 billion pounds of sterling will go to the creation of headquarters.
