The UK 'hosts' scammers - and heck, must be much easier doing that than stealing a digger and ripping a cash machine out of a wall (increasingly common).

And playing with virtual sheep is similarly much easier than the real thing (also a problem).

Who said we didn't have technical skills? Clearly we need to train hackers to defend against international hacking..
UK and allies condemn China as US charges hackers over 'economic espionage'

Heck, am I getting cynical... must be watching too many parliamentary debacles...

But under 1% of reports to Action Fraud result in any action. The Serious Fraud Office, having been stripped of staff, is closing and being combined with some other part of the police force.

Hi there

@dalchina

not sure if the technical skills are in the right place !!!!!!

Gatwick airport tonight still closed after 11 hours -- just because of 3 stupid drones -- just shoot the bu---rs down - heck you have an air force don't you -- and why on earth does plod take nearly a whole day after the event to call military in to help !!

No end in sight to Gatwick disruption - BBC News

I feel sorry for what is it about 120,000 people whose holidays and flights have been hosed up !!!! - Do you actually have a Minister of transport -- what did he / she do about this incident -- I heard on the news that the minister never even got involved until quite late in the event.

Anyway I still can't believe it that 2 or 3 tiny drones can cause so much chaos -- definitely bad management somewhere -- but I'll bet the hackers are really laughing. Hopefully this is not a warning of things to come.

You have to feel sorry for small kids stranded for hours in these airports though.

Hi there

@KCR

Weren't planes taking off in Iraq during the war with all sorts of heavy ordnance around the place being used a lot -- can't say I heard of problems with take offs and landings.

What a message this stuff sends out to people who don't like airports, planes etc - never mind to others with a more malevolent purpose -- can't believe a country that purports to have one of the best military in the world can be reduced to this nonsense !!!! (It's Police though when you actually see them are hugely hopeless -- give me New York's finest any day !!).

I really don't know much anything about this deal, other than what I've read.

Weren't planes taking off in Iraq during the war with all sorts of heavy ordnance around the place being used a lot ?

I would have thought so ??


Anyway, here are a couple links I dredged up. . . if you read them, you'll know more than I do. .

Take care now. . .
