LBC’s Tech Correspondent Will Guyatt turns it off and on again...
I’m surprised we haven’t had a “Russian Hackers are after our Big Macs and Steak Bakes” headline yet. Typically - you wait a long time for a major tech outage, and then four turn up at once like a row of buses. For Greggs, McDonalds, Sainsburys and Tesco all to experience such issues in under a week, you can almost excuse the temptation of a growing number of “tech experts” and speculators to assume this is leading to a major cyber attack that’s plotting to keep us away from food.
It’s a huge challenge to know what it must be like for companies agonizing over what they will say to the public. There have been instances in the past where tech issues have actually been a distraction tactic to hide a hack elsewhere into a company’s systems, and we’ve also had those where companies have taken months to alert customers to an actual cyber attack where their valuable personal data was compromised, and possibly in the hands of nefarious hackers.
