Darn it!! How will they get all that spam?! Is anyone thinking about the spam?!?!?
More from the Telegraph:
Parliament has been hit by a cyber attack that has left MPs unable to access their emails if not in Westminster.
MPs were alerted to the hack on Friday night and have reported problems getting into their email accounts on Saturday.
The attack comes just days after reports that passwords of ministers were being flogged online after hacking groups managed to gain access.
Woah. This is just like the Russian hacking that our intelligence agencies says happened, but Trump says didn’t happen and then also just admitted yesterday happened.
The parliamentary authorities are working with the National Cyber Security Centre to protect the network and ascertain the scale of the damage.
One MP affected said email accounts were “vulnerable” and warned that officials were always “one or two steps behind the hackers”.

OH boy. Watch some sensitive emails make their way to the totally-not-Russian-allied Wikileaks, and do damage to Great Britain that would undermine another great Western Democracy and help Russia but-that’s-totally-a-coincidence-I-promise.
Apropos of nothing, read this frightening story about what is happening in Ukraine. Who’s their greatest geopolitical foe again? Belgium I think.
