Based on their historical data, it seems to happen 2-4 times per year on average. Obviously the situation is very tense right now everywhere in the world but this isn't exactly exceptional.
- asdfasgasdgasdg 6y agoIs this actionable in any way? I guess you could just stay inside and be afraid but the silver lining is we were already doing that because of covid!
- alasdair_ 6y agoIt’s actionable to an extent. I once worked on an infrastructure project that increased all security controls based on threat levels, automatically. A simple example would be cancelling badge access for a janitor to a sensitive area like an engine room, but allowing it if the threat level Was lower.
- oh_sigh 6y agoIs that effective though? Does infrastructure terrorism happen any more in western countries? All terrorist threats I can think of off the top of my head involve attempts at killing citizens.
- reaperducer 6y agoIt doesn't have to happen more. It only has to happen once.
- jmull3n 6y agoThat sounds pretty effective
- oh_sigh 6y ago"That’s specious reasoning, Dad."
- gsnedders 6y agoThere have been occasional IRA attacks (by the branches of the IRA that don't recognize the Good Friday Agreement) against infrastructure. The other attacks they make generally don't involve "civilians", rather policemen and soliders etc.
- dheera 6y agoI suppose one could take it to mean avoiding public venues, public transportation, or other potential targets.
- kypro 6y agoI think your data might be wrong? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UK_Threat_Levels https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UK_Threat_Levels Seems to change every year or so. It was at severe a year ago, but was reduced to substantial, now it's back at severe.
