Yet another outage of major infrastructure; this time the Orly Airport outage is an indication that something is going on and we're being kept in the dark
Let there be no mistake, this is a probe of our defences, just the same as a reconnaissance party probes the front line of a battlefield. Except this is crossing IT boundaries, pushing past firewalls and raiding what's behind for intel.
These skirmishes, the power outages, the now numerous systems - major systems outages are a sign that we are in the initial stages of a conflict. With who is hayd to say without concrete evidence, but generally the only hostile state actors able to mount such an attack would be Russia or China.
Possibly Iran, but they have more than enough human assets in our country thanks to our porous borders.
The question is what are GCHQ doing about it? So far they seem pretty ineffective.
