UK government used Chinese owned data centre, Cummings tells Peston | Talking Politics | ITV News

Dominic Cummings has disclosed in an exclusive interview with ITV News that government data has been stored on infrastructure owned and controlled by Chinese interests.

He told the Talking Politics podcast that he had been warned about the Chinese ownership in “early 2020”, shortly after becoming chief aide to the then Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

Global Switch is the owner of data centres and provides space, power and cooling facilities to its customers. Representatives for Global Switch have informed us that they do not offer communications services or transfer any data. We understand that Global Switch does not have access to any data held by customers in their data centres and they allow clients to implement their own security systems. Any technical hack of Global Switch customer data would have to take place on customers’ systems.
