National cybersecurity watchdogs sent a red alert to Bucks and Milton Keynes Fire Authority after spotting that a 'Qakbot' had buried itself in an employee’s email.
A meeting heard that Qakbot viruses in dodgy emails can lead to organisations being held to ransom when they seize up computer systems until money is paid over.
The authority’s overview and audit committee heard on Wednesday (17/03) that it was the first time the National Cyber Security Centre had issued such an alert to the Bucks and MK fire and rescue service.

Some Milton Keynes residents have begun receiving invitations to the new mass vaccination centre being opened in Stevenage.

The British Veterinary Association (BVA) is advising pet owners to take extra precautions to ensure dogs, cats and other small pets are kept safe from hidden and potentially fatal winter hazards.
As with humans, pets can fall ill upon exposure to extremely cold temperatures for extended periods. To avoid this, BVA is asking owners to consider putting a coat on old dogs or those with thin fur to keep them warm. It is also important to wipe your dog’s paws and belly on returning home from a snowy walk to remove any traces of ice or grit, and to regularly check for cracks in paw-pads or for redness between the toes.

Police opposition to high strength alcohol being sold in a Milton Keynes city centre kiosk was overruled by a council committee.
The Point Kiosk, in Midsummer Boulevard, had applied to Milton Keynes Council to lift a ban on selling booze above six per cent, including wine and spirits, from the premises.
But Thames Valley Police objected, saying that problem drinkers tend to congregate around places where they can buy high-strength booze, causing problems.
Police opposition meant that a licensing sub committee was convened on Tuesday to decide the issue.
Licensing officer Gemma McCormack told the committee that “street drinkers who congregate outside of off licences, appear to target off licences who sell higher strength alcohol.

It has been confirmed that the Iceland store in the Food Centre is set to close its doors this month.

Milton Keynes has been awarded almost £2.5 million as part of the Government’s ‘Getting Building Fund’ which will harness the city’s reputation for smart technologies.

It will provide education and support to scale start-up businesses and focus on smart city technologies including robotics, virtual reality, digital twinning, sensor technology, intelligent infrastructure, autonomous vehicles, drones, and advanced communications.
Iain Stewart, the MP for Milton Keynes South, commented: “This is yet another investment by the Government in the long-term economic future of Milton Keynes, building on our already strong reputation as a high-tech hub.”

Guns N' Roses Performs At TD Place Stadium
Guns N' Roses is poised to pursue legal action against a fan whom the band believes is responsible for recently leaking previously unreleased music that was recorded between 2000 and 2001.

Chinese Democracy-era songs after obtaining the recordings in a storage unit auction by legendary A&R man
Tom Zutaut.
Neither Zutaut nor Dunsford held copyright on the leaked music — those rights belong to Universal Music Group.
While the band is taking legal action against Dunsford for his alleged part in the leaks, a GNR rep took care to admonish Zutaut in a statement issued to TMZ.
