Military Bases: Hacking

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what discussions he has has with relevant stakeholders regarding the recent hacking of MOD software at RAF and Royal Navy bases.

Answer

This was an incident within the supply chain and not an attack on Ministry of Defence (MOD) systems.

We take a robust and proactive approach to cyber attacks against MOD and our suppliers. Our initial assessment of the Dodd Group incident indicates that the data involved is largely routine and does not pose a significant security threat. For all investigations, the MOD has a well-tested incident coordination process led by the Defence CISO liaising across our Military Commands (including RAF and Royal Navy) to understand and mitigate any impact.
