And water is wet… if you asked literally anyone who works for, with, or anywhere close to the police they would tell you that the IT systems are almost all shockingly poor.
What is it with the public sector always having shitty IT systems?
> He told BBC Newsnight the 2013 trial also found that the system allowed data to be destroyed as users could accidentally overwrite it – and that there was no way of monitoring if any information had been altered.
No change log? Wow.
Want to criticize something but you lack the knowledge and writing skills to do so properly? ‘It’s not fit for purpose’ is your sound-bite.Throwing rocks at trains since circa 2005.
note – his analysis sounds plausible, but he’s weakened its effect with that cliche.
There was a year not long ago(2015?) where Windows stopped supporting WindowsXP. From a security perspective for some reason that meant it was easier for people to hack.
My other half was working in IT and helped upgrade all the local schools computers because they wanted to make sure they were safe.
On the other hand, the IT team at the hospital I work at didn’t upgrade any of the computers we had until 2-3 years later when someone launched a type of malware/ransomware thing that fucked up all the computers in the entire trust for the day.
Idk why it’s like this other than maybe budget cuts/underfunding in certain areas (IT). But improvements have been needed direly for a long time.
In spaces that involve healthcare, policing etc, I feel like they’re severely mismanaged.
