> A new cybersecurity and resilience bill will make it mandatory to report more incidents. The bill’s slow progress is frustrating security experts, according to Jamie MacColl, a senior research fellow at Rusi. However, ministers have been reluctant to impose more regulation on businesses, but having “major cybersecurity incidents is not good for economic growth,” he said.
A minister's bill is less effective than a Ukrainian soldier's bullet.

> In July, four people including a 17-year-old boy were arrested on suspicion of being involved in cyberattacks on Harrods, the Co-op, and Marks and Spencer, and were bailed pending further inquiries.
Your proposal is we have a foreign army come over and start executing children? What is this Bush era nonsense.

My proposal is the Western world do more to support the Ukrainian military, defeat the Putin regime militarily, and usher in the collapse of the russian federation.
You can't have state-sponsored cyber-attacks if the state sponsoring the cyber-attacks goes away.
No, I am not proposing anyone start killing children. What a ridiculous misinterpretation of my words. It's the russian military who kill kids[0], and nobody should be ok with that. It's also the russian government recruiting children to commit acts of sabotage[1] abroad.
Yup, I find I hard to believe kids have suddenly discovered hacking in the last two years.
It's either covertly state sponsored, or outsourcing everything to India is finally showing some results.

Bad news, folks: the erudite hackers have added an apostrophe to Harrod's logo

For some reason the "no apostrophe" thing is common in UK company names.

Great, that'll be another intelligence review Monday morning.
Can someone give the kids a ping pong table or something so i can eat my breakfast in peace?

It's almost like they earned enough from the data that the risk was worth it

From a brief review, it looks like the underlying platform they use is https://www.scayle.com/ (though I'm not sure its the one that was attacked) its just the one I found while looking at their site.

From the article, it sounds like this was earlier in the year, but they're only revealing it now? Isn't that way beyond the deadline for such things?
