The Fallout from TfL cyber-attack is slow burning and potentially costly
Physical services have been unaffected but limited access to online services continues to cause headaches. As cyber-attacks go, it could have been worse.
In Nightsleeper, the new BBC thriller airing just after Transport for London revealed its systems had been breached, passengers are locked aboard as a train seized by hackers hurtles dangerously towards the capital.
Set on a train from Glasgow to London, a government agency intervenes in escalating events onboard. Two strangers work together to save passengers as the train hurtles towards disaster.
Time is running out. When hackers send a train hurtling towards death and destruction, can two strangers stop it before it meets its final destination? Adrenaline-fuelled thriller.
The troubles for TfL
In real life, the troubles for TfL customers are far less dramatic. The actual physical transport services, the buses, trains and tubes – many of which are effectively remote-controlled – have been unaffected by its cyber-attack.
But with the latest Israeli attacks on Lebanon there is a new age of warfare that public services will have to be wary off.
Nightsleeper is a six-part British television series made for BBC One, starring Joe Cole and Alexandra Roach and written by Nick Leather for Euston Films.
