Tech: Nuclear site hacked, satellites and telcos, Musk's fight

From Nine To Noon, 11:05 am on 7 December 2023

Technology correspondent Bill Bennett joins Susie to talk about a report that Europe's most toxic nuclear site, Sellafield in the UK, has been the target of a cyber attack.

Not only that, it happened in 2015 and the malware may still be present.

He also talks about the impact that satellites have had on New Zealand's telco sector and the continuing cost to X (formerly Twitter) of owner Elon Musk's outburst at advertisers.
