“#Russia-linked hackers hit UK Ministry of Defence [#MoD] as security secrets leaked: Hackers targeted the database of a firm which handles the security for some of Britain's most secretive sites - including a #nuclearsubmarine base and a #chemicalweapon lab”

“Top secret security information on British military and intelligence sites has been leaked online by hackers linked to Russia.

They released thousands of pages of data which could help criminals get into the #HMNBClyde nuclear submarine base, the #PortonDown chemical weapon lab and a #GCHQ listening post.

Information about high-security prisons and a military site key to our cyber defences was also stolen in the raid by group #LockBit. Hackers targeted the databases of #Zaun, a firm which makes fences for maximum security sites. The information was then placed on to the internet’s dark web, which can be accessed using special software.”
