In response to the colleague who spoke before me, Mr. Reid referred to outdated equipment. I suspect that is where he thinks the HSE's vulnerability was exploited. He also said the HSE is monitoring as of now. Does he accept there was a lax approach to security which would have had some bearing on this given that it is monitoring after the event and that systems were not updated prior to that?
