          NHS hack was patchy. This is the shutdown of the UK's largest port and most global BA flights & an organisation who run the best security

          This is supposed to be cutting edge IT with world class operational risk management. This is a catastrophe for BA, & if its a hack...

          Some poor IT people won't have a job after today. Such is the ruthlessness of BA and the ex Ryanair big man.
