Defending the country, but under attack in cyberspace. Military personnel were today warned their personal data may have been compromised. In an email, they were told. This incident potentially impacts personal data of current, regular and reservist personnel and a small number of veterans. The data includes names and bank details and for a small proportion of individuals, addresses. Well, there are indications that a malign actor has compromised the armed forces payment network. But i do want to reassure people that Ministry Of Defence has already taken action in removing the network offline, taking it offline. So what do we know about what happened . The system was run by a contractor and dealt with payments. It was not the Ministry Of Defence� s own internal system, which handles classified information. The Ministry Says its confident Salary Payments will be made, although there may be delays on expenses. But the real question is who was behind the hack . In parliament today, the defence secretary would not be drawn for reasons of national security. We cant release further details of the suspected cyber activity behind this incident. However, i can confirm to the house that we do have indications that this was the suspected work of a malign actor and we cannot rule out State Involvement. President xi jinping of china, visiting france today. The suspicion is that chinese hackers might have been responsible, partly because of a track record of this kind of activity. But today, Chinas Foreign Ministry hit back, describing the accusations as a smear and absurd. It may take months to be confident who was responsible, and that will do little to help those in the armed forces worried about whats happened to their data. Gordon corera, bbc news.
