Hey uh you’re not supposed to say that publicly? You do know that cyberattacks are considered an act of war right? And you’re not at war with Russia or China? Do you know that John? It’s important to me that you know that.
time for the island to sink finally
For real, I mean this is literal direct acts of harm he’s admitting to. Not to mention giving up any illusion of moral high ground when it comes to (actually real) Russian cyberattacks.
But actually doing stuff costs money, and the UK government is allergic to that. It’s likely this is just posturing without any actions behind it, and they’re just doing this to stay relevant.
Admitting to acts of war you aren’t even doing might be somehow worse and dumber than actually doing them
Which sounds like the current UK leadership a lot.
It would be just like them to try to make some nationalistic overture like that, in a way that requires no action and just pisses of everybody for no benefit
I hope China fucks Britain up. I hope DPRK steals billions in crypto from the angloids
Wonder if China will increase DongFeng-41 attacks against Britain.
🤞
I wonder what would happen if a nation whose only source of relevance is being a
money launderingfinance hub (and selling 40k wh toys) were to be retributed-ly cyberattacked by a world superpower.Britbongs might have a fun time going back to only cash payments for a week or two
please it would be so funny
also would i still have to work
Those bean-toasts won’t

China and Russia forming an alliance to hack into GW and steal all the CAD files for every model and releasing them online would be so, so funny.
My brain is so poisoned that I read that as Cyber Truck attacks
If the Chinese and Russian governments weren’t filled with so many western educated liberals they would treat this declaration for what it is, AN ACT OF WAR
wtf only Russia and North Korea do that!
I’m pretty sure that what’s left of British infrastructure only continues to exist thanks to the fact that the Chinese aren’t interested in crippling our country out of racist or ideological spite. We famously farm out computerised infrastructure to some of the least competent, most unsuitable vendors. Data secruity for institutions here is a joke. We’ve had multiple governments seriously propose banning encryption and almost the entirity of our political class is tech illiterate and our military structure is primarily a bizarre aristocracy that get their appointments via herditary favour.
And that’s without even getting into what the government offers in terms of pay and benefits to its cybersecurity experts. I’m keeping it vague obviously, but I once met someone via an odd work thing who interviewed for a classified ‘active’ cybersecurity role and was offered a salary that was ‘less than they made as dev at a mobile games studio almost a decade before’.
If anybody wants to know what an actual, state-sponsorted cyberattack on a nation state launched by Russia looks like, see no further than NotPetya:
So, yeah, good luck with that Britain
I hope TERF Island
gets hit back so hard they’ll regret that they were born.
