Well HMG are using COVID19 to sell Smartphone Tracking apps. The "lack of privacy notice" for the personal data is quite shocking!
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/privacy-notice-for-covid-19-response-activity/privacy-notice-for-covid-19-response-activity Agree with Steve on spam, and I can't believe the number of asshat companies that think using covid19 to sell their snakeoil is going to be any more effective than the last stupid idea they had. ---- Spam is up, lots of unsolicited direct messages.. in particular a Claire Durber of Stratus keeps emailing our staff addresses selling leased lines etc, and ignores responses to cease... We're seeing up to 50% increase in the last month on backbone circuits, this is mostly private capacity but also ixp and cloud direct connect. It seems to be continuing to increase rather than a one time shift too. Steve Mark.
