Somewhat hyperbolic article. I’d wager most local government IT infrastructure would have similar if not greater levels of vulnerability.
Definitely a bad time for those struggling to manage at the level that having to pay bus/train fares impacts their ability to feed themselves.
The point about staff having to visit in person to reset credentials in order to regain remote access just sounds like good security practice to me.
I feel like the payments system is bugged, many people online reporting they are being charged the wrong amount for fares via contactless
Looks like tech debt, and supporting deprecated TLS ciphers for IE6 might be a symptom of a wider issue. I suspect many systems were left exposed due to poor vulnerability detection and remediation.
