They also say "Isle of Man Advertising - the organisation contracted by Douglas Borough Council for media services" has given them a statement and then say "Douglas Borough Council was contacted for an official statement yesterday (4 January). At present, no response has been received". But why should they if IOMA has already responded on their behalf[1]? It's also a bit confusing in that they claim the email was "from [a] gov.im address". But the official addresses are douglas.gov.im so which was it - and that's before you consider email spoofing. So there may have been no security lapse at all. [1] Whether this is a good thing or not is another matter, but it's what the current situation is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say this "hacked email" claim by Wells in preparation of the next allegation of these councillors . I think they may have wind of what's coming and pretending she's been hacked . Much like they've been inundating manx news outlets with false allegations on personal attacks on employees and themselves to try and detract from all the issues they are having . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except it's not clear that Wells is claiming anything and the email would need to examined carefully before it showed that the account had be hacked, rather than it being a fake. No one would be surprised if DBC's computer systems were dodgy in some way, but Manx Radio's rather confused reporting doesn't really let us judge. As for the 'false' accounts of attacks on DBC employees, your knowledge of exactly what has happened to each of them over the last few months is almost as impressive as Banker's ability to know the exact location of every teacher on the Island and what they are doing at all times. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy enough for them to see whether they can spoof an email to themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thommo2010 Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Why would anyone hack Claire Wells email? Just look at the saddos still moaning about their bin collections. There unfortunately will be people sad enough to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
