That was a first trial.
I would like a look at any contracts involved.
If it's negotiated by the civil service it won't be worth the paper it's printed on.

Good evening,
Thank you for your online application for this role. Unfortunately earlier today the roles were put on hold. This is due to a delay in the launch of the ‘Track and Trace’ App itself while the government considers an alternative App.
As and when the App (or an alternative) goes live, we will re-consider those applications already received, however please be aware that we have received an unprecedented number of applications for this role and therefore not all suitable candidates will be able to be put forward for the limited number of roles.
We would like to thank you for your time in applying and wish you all the very best.
Kind regards,
HR GO Recruitment
That didn't take longNo no no. We don't trust the tech giants for privacy.
The UK knows better and has excellent record of past software creations
We'll make out own so it's 100% guaranteed to be secure and private...
Oh dear
Coronavirus: Serco apologises for sharing contact tracers' email addresses
Outsourcing giant Serco has apologised for the data breach, which affects almost 300 people.www.bbc.co.uk
As John Ruskin, a social thinker in the 19c, once said, "It's unwise to pay too much, but it's worse to pay too little."...Serco, a company that was already prosecuted for defrauding the government in the past, why are they even considered for something like this, they shouldn't be anywhere near government work and taxpayers money.
Whilst it’s a stupid thing to do, it wasn’t the data from the system that was shared. It was a manual email that was sent exposing the private email addresses of the staff due for training.No no no. We don't trust the tech giants for privacy.

Much better than I would expect for an app developed so quickly. And totally normal to accept risks for certain elements.UK app sourcecode now examined by cybersec experts, and 7 serious security flaws discovered.
It's all going well!...

So yes, from that perspective it is going well indeed.
Neither is more important. The impact of the vulnerability and the likelihood of that happening will determine the priority. As per the report, they committed to fix some, and some they said they would not or do later. That is a very standard approach. Such test reports always include Some interesting elements, I’d be questioning the credentials of the security testers if they didn’t. Really not a big deal or just unusual.Surely the nature of the bugs is more important than the number. It seems the bugs they have found are of quite serious nature, and it does raise serious privacy concerns along with the possibility of blocking notifications or sending false ones - that undoes everything the app is supposed to do.
