Special kind of scumbag attacking healthcare providers
Obvs the usual suspects are responsible for this;
Labour, Corbyn and Starmer!
/s
i work in cyber security.
This shitty government needs to get with the times.
“You pay peanuts, you get monkey” I believe a job posting for head of cyber security for UK treasury was only paying around £50k lol
private sector is like 6x-10x the public sector rate.
I think they only got grads working in the security lol
Would this be some of the Russian nonsense we were told to expect?
It’s either Russians or rishi trying to cut waiting lists
Time to send more long range weapons to Ukraine and let them rain them down on Moscow
I wonder at what point we’re going to enter a “transition to war” stage ?
Quick let’s blame the Chinese OR the Russians !
It couldn’t have anything to do with the UK probably having absolutely piss poor cyber security due to incompetence and/or underfunding.
It’s essentially a (cyber)terrorist attack given how important healthcare services are
Attacks like these kill people as dead as bullets do. Never pretend that our isolation is splendid
This will be Russian/Iranian/Chinese state sponsored hackers.
The Eastern Axis of Evil is waging war on us, whether people want to see it or not. It might not yet be a fully active military war, but it is a war and they have very clear goals to bring down the West.
When are Russia or Iran gonna push the button on a mega cyberattack? A lot of test exercises with supermarkets, MoD and now this so far.
I used to work in IT at a major food-grade materials manufacturer, we had a ransomware attack that closed operations for a day and half. I’m telling you now, no one was deliberately targeting the hospital, someone on the inside was visiting dodgy sites on their break.
If you run Window XP on critical systems and have complaints from the medical staff when you try and introduce security measures, what do you expect
We are at war. Our leaders are lying to us. We must demand they negotiate a peace agreement.
Bets on the following conversation having happened on the last 18 months
It infrastructure guy : “we REALLY should look into security & ransomware prevention ”
Mangement :” too expensive ”
Purchasing : “this paperclip manufacturer ticks all the boxes & says that their product will secure documents so we’re forcing you to buy that instead ”
IT infrastructure guy : gets a job in the private sector for double the money
