  1. I was pleased to contribute some thoughts to this @ilpost article on the British Library cyberattack and how a failure to prioritise library systems work led to critical infrastructure vulnerabilities. ilpost.it/2024/05/22/british-library-conseguenze-attacco-informatico/

      I specifically point to Ex Libris Aleph not as the vector of the attack (that was Microsoft Terminal Services) but as an example of how the British Library was reliant on old software especially for its core library functions.
