London, Apr. 27 : Former Home Secretary David Blunkett is likely to warn the Gordon Brown Government that the 2012 Olympic games in London could face a cyber attack.

Terrorists could use sophisticated hacking to trigger the "complete meltdown" of computer and communications systems or disrupt ticketing, accommodation and transport arrangements, Blunkett will say in a speech to an information security conference, The Telegraph said.

London, Feb. 23 : Former British Home Secretary David Blunkett, who introduced the idea of identity cards, will issue a stark warning to the Government that it is in danger of abusing its power by taking Britain towards a "Big Brother" state.

At the 21st annual law lecture in Essex University's Colchester campus, The Independent says Blunkett will urge ministers to rethink policy and counter criticism from civil liberties campaigners that Labour is creating a "surveillance society."

He will come out against the Government's controversial plan to set up a database holding details of telephone calls and emails and its proposal to allow public bodies to share personal data with each other.
