MPs will be told today of a massive data breach involving the MoD, targeting service personnel.
The government will not name the country involved, but Sky News understands this to be China.
The Chinese state is to be accused of two or three attempts at hacking MoD employees - including personnel.
The cyberattack was on a payroll system with current service personnel and some veterans. It is largely names and bank details that have been exposed.
Remember, the hacks in the news are just the ones that are detected. We don’t know how many others there are.
Once Microsoft cloud was hacked, it is just a matter of time until every institution that uses MS is too. China has the keys to the whole kingdom, now. They can forge any certificate, they know every backdoor, they have all the source code. They will never be stopped.
In a sane world these events would trigger a global effort by every government to migrate off Windows.
