he MoD never said it was unsafe - just don't use until the "security implications are investigated " - so box ticking still in place I guess
Below the Glidepath - not correcting
Understanding the difference between platform and content would be quite useful for the Government at this point. Probably too much to hope for.
They were backpedaling yesterday when they found out BoJo et all were using it all the time to talk to foreign leaders, and for conference calling...................

Surely that does not mean it is secure, simply others haven't been as security conscious in assessing the risks,
Most techies reckon they're pretty secure - it just hasn't "passed the required UK testing regime" - but as ever people take the issues into their own hands and use it because it's there, easy to use and the nay-sayers have nothing to offer....
Nothing electronic can be proved to be 100% secure............
Cabinet today reportedly using Skype for Business due to security issues with Zoom. Seems the MOD was setting a good example for the rest of Government - not terribly often you can say that!

Given the way this Cabinet leaks they might as well put in a live feed - at least we'd get it un-spun.................
