Re: Government links ....
"Where were they for the Sony PlayStation hack then?"
That didn't happen in the UK did it.
"Where were they for the Carphone Warehouse hack?"
"Where were they for the Moonpig hack?"
Both investigated, but if the perpetrators arn't in the UK and can't be traced what do you expect them to do about it? Seems to me the talktalk hackers were a bunch of braindead script kiddies who were traced pretty easily.
But hey, lets go with the conspiracy theory that the Met police are sucking up to the Tory government. This is btw, the same Met Police that screwed over Tory minister Andrew Mitchell with officers commiting perjury and trashed former tory minister leon brittans reputation only 9 months back and didn't bother telling him he was in the clear before he died. I suppose that was all just a misdirection pantomime though, right?
Idiot.
