UK government threatens to launch drone strikes against hackers
If there’s one thing that everyone seems to be talking about at the moment, it’s hacking.
Recent hard-hitting ransomware attacks like WannaCry have made malware a talking point for the man in the street, and allegations persist that Russian hackers may have attempted to influence the result of the US presidential election.
Most recently, the Goldeneye/Petya malware hit organisations in various countries, and was felt particularly hard in Ukraine where government offices, energy companies, and the capital Kiev’s airport fell victim. Amongst the Ukrainian casualties of the malware was the infamous Chernobyl nuclear power plant, which had its automatic radiation monitoring systems.
