Any Russian agents who try to use cyber attacks to influence Eurovision voting in Liverpool will be countered by the UK's 'world experts', MPs have been reassured. Police in Italy claimed Russia had attempted to interfere with the voting during the first semi-final in 2022.
Police in Italy last year claimed Russia had attempted to interfere with the voting during the first semi-final of the 2022 contest, but it was thwarted by its cyber-security teams.
Conservative MP for Lichfield, Michael Fabricant, asked in the House of Commons:"Last year during the Eurovision Song Contest, Russian agents attempted to interfere with the voting that was being made for Ukraine."What is [the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology] doing to ensure that the integrity of the voting will be maintained?"
Paul Scully, a minister for technology and the digital economy, replied:"The government is always aware there are a number of possible threats to our systems and our events. "I'm not able to discuss the details but the National Cyber Security Centre are world experts at understanding attacks and providing incident response for the most serious of attacks."We want to make sure that all organisations are aware, so we can indeed keep that resilience in our voting process."
