Hacking fallacy

-

No cyber-world expert seriously believes that Vladimir Putin is behind the attacks on everything from the US election to our NHS. Apart from the dangers of such an exercise, why would he waste time targeting the UK’S imploding health service?

Putin has said: “On a state level we haven’t been involved in hacking nor do we plan to get involved in it. Quite the opposite, we are trying to combat it inside Russia.” The belief that he was involved is just politicos and others passing the buck.

The fact is, many Democrats couldn’t bring themselves to vote for Hillary Clinton, Germans lost faith in Angela Merkel after her disastrous openended refugee invite and the NHS doesn’t need any Russian help to make a shambles of its internet services. (REV DR) JOHN CAMERON
