Bizarre: British Government Removes iPads From Cabinet Meeting
2013.11.05
A bizarre situation happened at the British government. According to the Mail , a handful of iPads had been left in No. 10 Downing street, apparently for "a presentation by the man in charge of the Government Digital Service", "Mike Bracken and the Cabinet Office Minister Francis Maude".
But it then weirdly turn into a security concern.
Their worry was that the devices could be hacked by a foreign power and used to listen in to Cabinet. So, Ministers were instructed not to touch them.
Midway through the GDS’s talk, “security moved in to remove all the iPads from the room. They were taking no chances with Cabinet careless talk,” the publication notes.A tad odd perhaps?
