Buckingham Palace Upgrades Cybersecurity Amid Russian Threat
Buckingham Palace is bolstering its cybersecurity measures following admissions of outdated systems and concerns over growing Russian cyber threats. The upgrade, set to cost around £99.9 million, is part of a larger plan to modernize the palace's infrastructure, including replacing obsolete systems and installing energy-efficient heating. This move comes after a 2023 cyberattack took the royal family's official website offline for over an hour. The upgrade is also part of a broader increase in the Sovereign Grant, reflecting King Charles III's more active international commitments.9 sourcesSee all sources
