A different kind of war? Cyber attacks to decimate economies?

C-op has been cyber attacked today

I see that a government dept. (Not sure which - Treasury?) is suggesting that we hoard some money at home.

Hmm - I can see thieves rubbing their hands.

I must work out a good hiding spot, if it becomes a necessity.

There is a thread about this running somewhere

That was my daughter’s first job in tech.
She was in a team of 4 who were given bank cards ( obviously false) and then they had to break into those accounts.

She often points out to companies where they have a weakness.

My young friends autistic son ( 10) often breaks into the computer system at the special school he goes to.
Today was one of those days.

Remember the young lad from Wickford who broke into pentagon? I wonder who he’s working for now 🤔

Years ago my next door neighbours daughter shut down the whole schools computer system during the GCEs examinations. She was upset as she wanted to take one exam but teacher didn't allow it due to poor results in mock exams. The school never discovered who did it. She works with computers now.
I think we are very vulnerable to cyber attacks and agree it could easily paralyse a country.

petra - probably the pentagon!

Just heard Harrods may have also been breached.

Absolutely nothing to do with renewables, where did that from?

Spain' electricity, very recently, is being supplied solely by renewables, the transmission of renewable electricity is different from more traditional electricity transmission, investigators are looking into this difference as a possible cause.

Spain imports significant quantities of electricity from France and Portugal. The French power will almost certainly have come from nuclear power stations.

As well as M&S.
These firms will have to pay more in future to make themselves even more secure.
