If you're thinking about carrying out an electronic jihad of some kind when is the best time? A normal working day or during an engineers strike that only happens once every 23 years?Not to put to fine a point on it, a normal working day is the best time to strike if you want to maximize the value of your attack.The point I'm getting at is this strike of this nature is a threat to national security and the internet is supposed to be classed as critical infrastructure, so shouldn't it be against the law for them to strike?
The phone system has been critical infrastructure for 120 years...
Or has the law in the UK not got as far as the United States has on deeming what's critical infrastructure yet? We are far behind the United States and its about time we played catch-up.
I don't think a CWA strike has been declared illegal in recent history...
