Leader It's unsurprising that the MoD has reported the most hacking attempts. Yet the fact that there are apparently so many hackers targeting government systems makes some of the MoD's figures seem puzzling.

Leader There was the tiddler of a deal with the MoD, worth a mere £6m or so - definitely not in the same league as the big one over in Whitehall last week that BT didn't get its teeth into. Just when we think the pipeline of big wins for BT must be...
