UK’s Ministry of Defence ‘hacked by China’

A massive Chinese cyberattack targeted the UK’s Ministry of Defence in a breach revealing the details of armed forces personnel, according to reports.

The attack, believed to have been done two or three times, was on a third-party payroll system including the details of tens of thousands of British armed forces and veterans.

The MoD has been working over the last three days to understand the scale of the hack, after it was recently discovered, Sky News reported. The Ministry of Defence was approached for comment.

It is not believed any data was taken and the MoD urged service people not to be concerned for their safety. MPs will be told about the attack on Tuesday.

They're getting brazen.

It's all because they spelled defense wrong.



It's time to become energy independent and quit buying from china.

They also confronted an Australian helicopter and dangerously dropped flares above and in front of it.

And prior to that they set off a sonar blast to harass Australian divers conducting underwater repairs on a disabled frigate in international waters and injuring personnel.

They're prepping and testing us to see if we push back.

...and why not? They got away with the "spy balloon" over U.S. nuclear sites and nothing happened. Why not probe the rest of U.S. allies to see if they are as vulnerable and defenseless as the U.S. is? After all, the U.S. has a meat puppet "leading" the country!

I never mentioned a spy balloon, nimrod. Put your glasses on.

I also never denied China was after gold.  What I said was that China's aim was for power and control.  You chased me all over calling me the C word for that but you may need to change your stance.   Their endgame is to be THE, one and only, global power.

Their quest for the world's gold is to diversify their reserves to reduce their dependence on the $USD.  Their debt is reducing but in default.

Their endgame is total dominance!

i chased you all over the place...... we will put that self import fable to rest real quick like. have fun grasping at straw.

Well you unnecessarily and rudely called me a C several times. You even made a thread about it which was extremely poor form even for you.

No grasping at straws from me.
