Meanwhile nearly 10 years on, nobody has been held accountable for the 72 deaths in the Grenfell fire yet all resources were pulled together to find these two kids.

WTF are the policing services smoking? Lack the competence to prevent a couple of kids hacking UK national infrastructure. Catastrophic failure from top to bottom.

The thumbnail says £39m but the description says £29m in losses which is it, that's like 10 million difference. Someone is cooking the books here.

They're "loners" but also members of an international group of cyberhackers, with strong social engineering skills. Kids can't get a break

They should have just set up a scam PPE company and requested millions from Boris Johnsons government. They'd be laughing right now.
