UK government admits they are scanning all computers in the country or connected to it.
In theory this isn't a bad thing. IoT devices are absolutely horrible from a security standpoint and that is something that should get more exposure, and having secure networks is a good thing. In practice, yeah I don't have any faith in a government or for-profit agency to actually get into exposing security risks without some ulterior motive.
Yeah, that's how it works. The excuse is reasonable, and what actually happens is the rug pull.
Nigel, 16 (femme/she/itboi), wipes his brow with a non-static cloth. He has spent the last 3 hours without a break toiling in the West-End Data Mines. Note the characteristic pasty, acne-ridden skin, the sunken eyes, the dark-filtered glasses to block shine off the fifteen facial piercings, a reflection from the light of the computer monitors.
