"The [UK] Ministry of Defence wasted nearly £50m on a cancelled cryptographic system to protect top-secret military information from the growing threat of cyber attack. [...] The Cipher project, run by the French electronics giant Thales, was axed last year after the forecast budget for assessment costs alone more than trebled from £19m to £66m. The MoD has now admitted, however, that it had already spent £46m before ministers finally accepted that Cipher would neither provide the comprehensive cyber security needed nor prove value for money." http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/another-day-another-government-it-cockup-as-minister-admits-writing-off-mods-46m-antihacking-system-9194817.html
