A Reuters news story that credits a story in The Sunday Business
Newspaper claims that a British satellite has been taken over by crackers
and is being held for ransom. A lot of people feel that if it is
reported by a major news organization such as Reuters it must be true,
well I don't buy it. The article does not mention who received the
blackmail threats nor are their any verifiable quotes. The article
quotes one 'intelligent source' and one 'security source'. Considering
the sensitive nature of this story one could assume that more than one
news organization would have picked up this story, so far we can find
nothing in the BBC or the London Times. This story will be treated as
extremely suspect until it can be verified by a second source.
