    Bank of England calls for 'super shield' against cyber attacks

    "Although yet to be tested in a real cyber event". Quite.

    Most financial companies have issues keeping their regular systems going let alone faced with a cyber attack.

    Stopping offshoring would help matters.

          I recently saw a film advertised as the best avenger film yet. Does not say much for it really.

                  How do you figure that one out, using the same level of intellect and reasoning prowess you're exhibiting on the Brexit forum?

                    From what you have said your source must be in the same field as myself. A very unique and secretive field.
