英国警告海底电缆有遭受外国攻击的危险,敦促到2030年加强防御和一艘修理船。 UK warns undersea cables are at risk from foreign attacks, urging stronger defenses and a repair ship by 2030.

英国立法者警告该国对于全球数据、金融和通信至关重要的海底电缆很容易遭到外国对手的攻击,可能造成灾难性的破坏。 UK lawmakers warn the country’s undersea cables, vital for global data, finance, and communications, are vulnerable to attack by foreign adversaries, potentially causing catastrophic disruption. 由于联合王国依靠大约50条活电缆,而且没有专用修理船,官员们说目前的安全措施不够充分。 With the UK relying on about 50 active cables and no dedicated repair vessel, officials say current security measures are inadequate. 他们敦促加强威慑,包括对破坏行为、更多拦截可疑船只和到2030年获得电缆修理船的刑事处罚。 They urge stronger deterrence, including criminal penalties for sabotage, increased interception of suspicious vessels, and acquiring a cable repair ship by 2030.
