Retrospectively removing indefinite leave to remain would be immoral and economically damaging. It would tear families apart. Attacking it as ‘potentially illegal’ is completely beside the point. Argue with the (awful) idea. Don’t try ’well, actually you can’t do that’.

Great thread from Kevin on the airport cyber attacks - “corporate centipede” and “welcome to 1998” being my favourites ENISA - the EU’s cyber security agency - now saying it’s ransomware www.reuters.com/business/aer...

In a niche fusing of two of my key interests I was doing some research on UK constitutional law as it applies to national security last night and ChatGPT - with great confidence and certainty - entirely fabricated quotes from non other than AV Dicey himself

“Historically, cybercriminals rarely retire in the traditional sense. Instead, they rebrand, regroup or pivot to new tactics and operations, or they get caught.” m.cje.io/3KcFXOA

Having a marvellous time in sunny Sydney 🇦🇺 Here’s a piece in the Australian Financial Review on the current state of cyber threats (£, $, I think but one article might be free) It’s a summary of a keynote I did at the AFR’s cyber summit (transcript to follow) www.afr.com/technology/b...

Prof @ciaranm.bsky.social spoke on the Today programme earlier today following the Jaguar Land Rover cyber attack. Listen here👇

Ciaran, well said! I spent 20 years of my career focused on these kind of attacks on cyber-physical systems. I coined the term “cyber-kinetic attacks” in the 1990s for these kind of cyber attacks that impact lives, well-being and the environment. Even when my teams conclusively proved that deaths…
