What you are watching or reading
on the mainstream media about the latest global outbreak of a new virus
called Petya is total nonsense. Britain’s Secretary for Defence, Michael
Fallon made the most absurd and quite bizarre speech as to the
government response to the cyber-attack problem which is echoed by the
Telegraph in a just as ludicrous article using the headline:
The Telegraph proceeds as follows: “Sir Michael Fallon warned
potential attackers that a strike on UK systems “could invite a response
from any domain – air, land, sea or cyberspace”.
For both Fallon and the Telegraph an outstanding point is quite
clear – they either understand little about this cyber-attack whatsoever
– or, more likely, they are propagating FAKE news.
Why? Perhaps because the High Court has just granted Liberty permission to challenge
part of the Government’s extreme mass surveillance regime with a
judicial review of the Investigatory Powers Act and this is just part of
the response.
