Taking Guard
Most of the entries in this blog aim to be light-hearted, often downright trivial. This one is anything but.
Freuchie Cricket Club is fortunate in having Roundtrip Solutions Limited as IT supplier and sponsor. John Thomson, MD of Roundtrip, earlier this week identified a serious compromise of the FETA website – the Forth Estuary Transport Authority, which provides information on the Forth Road Bridge. Details of the incident involving hackers redirecting visitors to a malware server in Turkey and John’s investigation of it are reported in today’s Scotsman.
We tend to think that taking guard has to do with lining up our bat with one or more of the stumps. If anything is needed to remind us that there are more forms of attack than what the other team’s bowlers can offer, this is it.
If you have visited the FETA website within the last few weeks then you may wish to read John’s analysis and suggestions for checking your computer.
