The University of Manchester and Jisc clearly felt emasculated and took a ‘Fight, of Flight’ (pun intended) attitude preferring to cover up their incompetence and negligence.
Whilst the Federal Aviation Administration may have many areas to improve, they acknowledged their oversight and errors and undertook a program to address. Last year The University of Manchester were one of 347 schools and education facilities to suffer cyberattacks. The same exposures remain…
It is clear that The University of Manchester and Jisc have no interest in preventing a similar number of cyberattacks this year all the while they remain in denial, maintain exposed (JANET) servers (single point of failure) and ignore expertise. Cyberattacks are very good business for them.
Finally, as Jisc are a recent partner of the NCSC (part of GCHQ) in the ‘Share & Defend’ UK wide program which includes ‘PDNS,’ it does not bode well for not just the education sector, but the entire UK.
Maybe ‘Share & Defend’ means you Share, they move to Defend their position and negligence by any means possible. It seemingly DOES NOT mean Share & Defend National Security.
Interesting different reactions to basic security oversights and errors and information sharing. Hopefully it is little more than arrogance, egos, and ignorance and not anything more sinister…
