Guardian correspondent seems to have got a lot more info than the independent piece yesterday.
Excellent overview of what’s going on with high-profile hacktivism
Sort of interview with a sort of hacker…from the Independent

Includes a “privacy fact graphic”…Private security firms offering protection, so UK government likely to allow merchant ships to arm themselves. I cant remember why they didnt allow this in the past, but they used to claim there were very good reasons!
