NotBeingPetya: UK critical infrastructure firms face huge fines for lax security

What Eu.

This is a near verbatim copy of the recent Russian legislation after removing criminal responsibility for the directors.

The El Reg screamed bloody murder at the time as it included DNS servers and peering points as well as the ability of the government to issue an "isolate" order. They concentrated on that particular aspect and missed the rest which is surprise, surprise nearly the same as what we hear now from HMG.

By the way the "disconnect from net to keep the country running" order is not a bad idea. It should be in the legislation.
