“CyberSecurity: Please don’t throw Government money at this nonsense” #unscrewingsecurity @computerworlduk
Cyber Security: Please don’t throw Government money at this nonsense The Coalition will fund me an antivirus upgrade? The best thing – the absolute best thing – about being an unaffiliated security blogger on CWUK is that you’re guaranteed daily to have something to discuss, and you’re free to say exactly what you think.
