With every answer I am probably thinking of ten more questions. I am conscious I do not have all day and that, equally, the witnesses cannot tell us everything. From a consumer perspective, what can any or all of us do in our daily lives? We have laptops and phones and I am sure some people have game stations and various gaming devices that are linked to the Internet. Maybe people have security cameras and other devices such as televisions that can be linked in and all that kind of stuff. How can we all play our part? I know we are only a small part but in most of these situations, once the hackers get in, they are in. There has to be a way in. The HSE attack was due to things like very old computers being used and people leaving passwords on screens and information available. How can we make sure we are as compliant as possible while being conscious of the fact that everybody gets tired of trying to remember 50 different passwords and all the rest?

I thank Dr. Browne for the email we received today with the NCSC's guide to political activity and various things. I do not know when the guide was published but it was sent to us today. I thank Dr. Browne for the work the centre is doing in that sphere.
