But can they actually?
Part of me wants to despair at this. I feel like our government is just totally inept and everything is just bad news. There was even a report in the Times this week that Russian hakers are going to take the NHS down - and given the Horizon scandal where its proven we’ve repeatedly gone with the lowest bidder, it wouldn’t surprise me.
However, I like to think there is someone in charge of all this who properly has their shit together and is smirking at this thinking ‘come and have a go if you think your hard enough’
I once did some training at a highly sensitive UK site (mandatory for the clearance I needed) and during the course we were told in no uncertain terms China was relentless in their spying and attack attempts. This was around 15 years ago.
It would have just been squandered elsewhere.
