Last week it was MI5 and a camera with pictures of terrorist weapons and documents sold on eBay. This week it is “an encrypted hand-held computer” stolen from an open window in a “house rented by MI6” (safe house?). MI6 is of course the UK's secret agency. I really wish John Le Carre would bring back Smiley. He is needed!
Will we ever know if MI6 really enforces encryption on thier hand held devices?
