Are these attacks the way of the future? They cause massive disruption at airports and across the world and no one seems to be able to pinpoint those responsible. This latest one in Europe made me think ,’Russia’ but it could just as easily been anyone - a group of crims or just some disgruntled adolescent with a talent for cracking systems. Who knows? I think money might be better spent on protecting these systems and IT capability rather than storing up physical weapons and armies.

I think that it should be a legal requirement for all companies to ensure as much protection to their systems as is necessary and possible, and should be answerable to the security services.

Also the fake notices from people pretending to be banks and asking you to check your account and login details. Makes me sick.
