I think they should add Siemens Sicore cameras to their known camera database, but they do show up on Deflock despite not being mentioned explicitly on the website. Here is an example in one of my contributions via OSM. https://deflock.me/map#map=18/53.786783/-1.551438
It is done for cartographers in OpenStreetMap to map where they have been (or where others have been).
I use it to add metadata to my local area, things like business names, postboxes, benches, etc.
Mapillary is not a private cloud for your own personal Google Street Map. It's a public Google Street Map with appropriate licencing (open) for mappers to add data to OSM, using Google Street Map would be in violation of its licence.
I agree. Public sector IT becomes a huge sprawl of technologies and cottage industry applications which makes administering these often rarely touched interfaces difficult to do properly when department budgets are tight and resources are busy fire fighting the processes that failed the night before.
It is also difficult to hire because wages are generally low compared to similar roles in private industry, yet they need skilled staff to manage these complex environments. A lot of services don't get the attention they need, not just patching and upgrades but development, requirements capture and usability all kept to a minimum cost to keep the sinking ship afloat.
All these constraints also lean to a culture of poor security, JFDI, rip and replace, insufficent hardware etc... just so the business can operate on whatever computer on wheels in the shipping depot or relatively expensive to replace electronic gate system with intergration to their custom fleet management software.
Government outsourcing to another related body has its cost advantages but the many domain administrator users, the huge flat VmWare estate and the hardware well beyond warranty doesn't dissapear.
Designed to serve immediate needs but without long-term maintenance or holistic design in mind. Outsourcing amplifies the issue.
We are currently dealing with an ongoing cyber security incident. The security of our systems and customer data is very important to us, and we have taken immediate action to protect our systems.
We identified some suspicious activity on Sunday 1 September and took action to limit access. We are conducting a thorough investigation into the incident, alongside the National Crime Agency and the National Cyber Security Centre.
Although there has been very little impact on our customers so far, the situation is evolving and our investigations have identified that certain customer data has been accessed. This includes some customer names and contact details, including email addresses and home addresses where provided.
Some Oyster card refund data may have also been accessed. This could include bank account numbers and sort codes for a limited number of customers (around 5,000).
If you are affected, we will contact you directly as soon as possible as a precautionary measure, and will offer you support and guidance.
We are doing all we can to protect our services and secure our systems and data. Our proactive measures mean that:
Live Tube arrival information is not available on some of our digital channels, including TfL Go and the TfL website. In-station and journey planning information is still available
Applications for new Oyster photocards, including Zip cards, have been temporarily suspended. If you want to replace a lost photocard, please call us on 0343 222 1234, 08:00-20:00 every day, and select option 1 (charges may apply)
If you have been unable to apply, please continue making your journeys as usual and keep a record of any fares paid. We may be able to arrange a refund once the incident has been resolved and you receive your new photocard
If you travel using a contactless payment card, you won’t be able to access your online journey history
Currently we are unable to issue refunds for incomplete pay as you go journeys made using contactless, so always remember to touch in and out. Oyster customers can self-serve online.
Many of our staff have limited access to systems and as a result there will be some delays responding to any online enquiries.
We’re also undertaking an all-staff IT identity check. Although we don’t expect any significant impact to customer journeys as we carry out this process, temporary and limited disruption is possible to some services. Please check before you travel.
We will continue to keep you updated. We are sorry for the inconvenience this incident may cause and thank you for your patience.
