Re: Have GCHQ systems ever been breached?
well, as any GCHQ spook allegedly needs to be approved by someone called the National Security Agency before hiring, let's look at their best practise (pre Snowthing)
There's no such thing as 'secure' any more. The most sophisticated adversaries are going to go unnoticed on our networks. We have to build our systems on the assumption that adversaries will get in. We have to, again, assume that all the components of our system are not safe, and make sure we're adjusting accordingly.
