Very pertinent to the work going on in our little @ukiedh.bsky.social #PeTRA-CIG at the moment... protecting researchers and practitioners needs to be part of all research projects at all stages. Great work from the team at Leeds here!

Good news, but the fact that this is only happening now, nearly three years after the cyber attack shows 1) what a huge job BL staff have had rebuilding services, 2) that the BL is underfunded, and 3) the impact this has had on academic research, especially in the humanities.
