Major supermarket food shortages

These ransomware attacks use a vulnerability in the company systems to give them access. The chances of all the major players being hit are extremely low. Morrisons should be able to get back up quickly if they have prepped for this eventuality.

It still amazes me how firms link all these systems together. When I was looking after IT I used to decouple them but nowadays they seem to link them all together. It's dumb but easier and then they spend millions on security that only seems to cause problems for the users while the bad guys seem to have no problems.

I wish these guys would focus on Government systems. HMRC, DVLA, Councils as well as our country wide surveillance systems would be nice.
