    Probably important to note that this is the UK Post Office and not, say, the United States Postal Service.

      I’m sure some postmasters went postal over being convicted of no crime.

    The real warning here is prosecutors being able to say “the system cannot be accessed remotely”.

    That assertion should not be allowed to stand without a 3rd party audit of the complete system and supporting technology.

    The question I’ve had, why did Fujitsu place a backdoor in the horizon system?
