In a remarkable accusation for the Intelligence community in the UK, the Director General of MI5, the nation’s leading domestic security service, has been accused by staff of seeking to use his own security software for his governance role.
But in a startling development on this story, all DG’s since the first public opening of the position are now accused by previous IT specialist staff of installing their own pre-made software for general use.
The overtaking of MI5’s genuine systems would lead to the stymying of real operations, and could disrupt the security of the UK. It’s believed digital systems are used at root and are relied on for fundamental safety across all four nations.
