Our sympathy goes to those public sector ICT staff (especially in the NHS) who will have been ‘slaving away’ over the weekend to repair the damage done by the recent mass hack attack.

We would like to remind readers to check out our ‘ICT and Data Management / Security’ section weekly and to that registered readers can also consult our database for past items on such subjects as ‘hacking’.  There they will find links to press releases, guidance & White Papers from ‘expert sources’ such as Sir Kevin Tebbit KCB CMG (Former Head of GCHQ), the ICO and others.
