Comment on UK Trident Nuclear Missile Programme Whistleblower

Comments

Nobody has any comments?

Is this on the level? If so, this guy just "Snowdened" himself.

The article describes appalling lack of security (and more) in Britain's Trident nuclear submarine program.

He ends with:

   Order through the fear of nuclear annihilation
   can no longer be maintained. Every major nation
   on the planet has been infiltrated by terrorists
   that are preparing to attack us from within.
   Our Nuclear weapon systems are the prime target
   and we are wide open to attack. We must unite
   globally in order to eliminate he biggest threat
   the world has ever seen.

It does amaze me how little attention this got vs. e.g. 'About the supposed factoring of a 4096 bit RSA key' esp. given another related article did well 'UK government quietly rewrites hacking laws to give GCHQ immunity', but there we go.

The veracity _is_ questionable, but if true it's of huge importance and very frightening. It sounds like the typical incompetencies of a poorly managed company, but applied to one of the most sophisticated nuclear delivery systems in existence. I really hope this gets looked into, I for one am going to write a letter to my MP to ask them to investigate.
