Electronic Government: Hacking

Question

To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many breaches of government websites occurred in 2014.

Answer

For security reasons we do not comment on specific details of cyber security attacks. The Government takes cyber security very seriously; from 2011 to 2016, we have invested £860 million in a National Cyber Security Programme. We plan to almost double investment in cyber security to £1.9bn over the next five years.
