The Telegraph’s report seems to say that the Belarusians/Russians were working on an intranet used by the people writing the nuclear submarine software, not that they were working on the software themselves. Does undermine their own headline.
Doesn’t undermine all the security concerns though.
> to Russia and Belarus initially kept it secret and discussed whether it could disguise where the workers were based by giving them fake names of dead British people.
That this wasn't an innocent mistake or an after the fact cover up says quite a bit.
And it’s a £500k contract, which doesn’t get you very far in corporate intranet land.
But of course it presents a security risk, since the intranet usually is the gateway to people or project information.
And I am truly puzzled by how they knew it wasn’t appropriate to hire subcontractors in Belarus and Russia, but talked themselves into making it ok. Even suggesting to put names of dead people in the reports.

Can I get a second opinion on this, please?
