With everything that keeps going on in the world of security, and the world at large, most eyes were focused on Tim Cook as he and his merry men took to the stage and announce the latest and greatest in Apple technology.
There didn’t seem to be anything totally mind-blowing on the phone end. Just looked to be more bigger, faster, and powerful versions of the iPhones at eye-watering prices.
The Apple watch now has a built-in FDA-approved ECG heart monitor. Which is pretty cool as an early-warning system that a stroke is imminent - I assume to allow you to take some smart HDR selfies, apply the correct filters, and post to Instagram before you collapse.
But enough about that, let’s get down to business.
British Airways Breached
BA suffered a rather large breach which included payment information (including CVV) and personal details.
While the investigation is ongoing, some security experts believe the breach was caused due to malicious code being injected into one of the external scripts in its payment systems.

Boards need to get more technical - NCSC
The government is calling on business leaders to take responsibility for their organisations’ cyber security, as the threat from nation state hackers and cyber criminal gangs continues to rise. Ciaran Martin, head of NCSC believes that cybersecurity is a mainstream business risk and that corporate leaders need to understand what threats are out there, and what are the most effective ways of managing the risks. They need to understand cyber risk in the same way they understand financial risk, or health and safety risk.

GCHQ data collection violated human rights, Strasbourg court rules
GCHQ’s methods in carrying out bulk interception of online communications violated privacy and failed to provide sufficient surveillance safeguards, the European court of human rights has ruled in a test case judgment.
But the Strasbourg court found that GCHQ’s regime for sharing sensitive digital intelligence with foreign governments was not illegal.
It is the first major challenge to the legality of UK intelligence agencies intercepting private communications in bulk, following Edward Snowden’s whistleblowing revelations.
