The Times reveals this morning that troops are regularly dispatched to stop cyber operations in their infancy before they escalate into a large-scale attack. Nicholas Williams is a former NATO advisor. He's told Times Radio that it's a mounting threat to our national security. They do seem to be having a serious effect and they're increasing as well. Not just as a result of hackers, but also probably as a result of malign international actors, Russia, China and so on, who are increasingly sophisticated and determined to penetrate the military networks of the NATO countries.

If you are lower down in said hierarchy, your complaint could be seen as bitter or, oh, she's just upset because she didn't get booked. A male celebrity housed until 4.30 this afternoon to appeal a high court decision not to grant him an injunction against two major news organisations.
