Experts have condemned the hack as an "absolute new low" for cyber-crime.

This is a new low, unfortunately the UK is such an easy target for any threat actors.

Orgs have shown they will pay, teenagers getting in and terrible MSPs shows poor security practices, the government will bail out orgs financially and provide Incident Response help while they recover.

Could be used as more fuel for the "we need digital ID cards to keep us safe from x" fire. Ironically, the ID cards themselves become a very attractive target.

ID cards (they're on your phone) should be as easy/difficult targets as banking apps.

Nursery 'hack' like JLR we never get to hear how it was achieved eg. inititated by phishing/carelessness, like the Afghan spread sheet.
Now have a precedent for Government kindly bailing out companies.
