The first of Britain's two brand new aircraft carriers runs on outdated Windows XP software that may be vulnerable to cyberattack.
Abstract:
--
Excerpt: In May, a massive cyberattack struck the National Health Service (NHS), which also uses the software.
During a press visit to the 65,000-tonne carrier ahead of her test launch on Monday, journalists from the Times noticed the software was in use.
"If XP is for operational use, it is extremely risky," Professor Alan Woodward, an IT expert at the University of Surrey, told the Times.
