In a disturbing incident that has shocked the UK defense community, Russian hackers are said to have stolen hundreds of sensitive military documents and posted them on the dark web. These documents contain details of eight RAF and Royal Navy bases, as well as names and emails of Ministry of Defense employees. The attack was made possible by breaching the systems of a maintenance and construction company, Dodd Group.
The Dodd Group confirmed that a ransomware attack provided temporary access to its internal systems. The company took immediate action to contain the incident and secure systems. A specialized IT forensics team was hired to investigate the incident. While the investigation is ongoing, there are reports that the stolen data has been published online.
The UK Ministry of Defense takes this threat very seriously and is actively investigating the claims. A spokesman for the ministry emphasized that it is taking a robust and proactive approach to countering cyber threats to protect national interests. Due to the sensitivity of the information, no further details will be released.
This incident joins a series of high-profile data breaches at the Department of Defense. Last year it was revealed that personal information of up to 272,000 service members and veterans had been compromised. These incidents highlight the urgent need to strengthen cybersecurity measures in sensitive areas to prevent future attacks.
