Recent hack compromised top secret information on sensitive military sites.
hackers allegedly acquired top secret security information on some of the country’s most sensitive military sites, including the HMNB Clyde nuclear submarine base on the west coast of Scotland and the Porton Down chemical weapon lab.
Responding to the news, Kevin Curran, professor of cyber security at Ulster University, told the PA news agency that LockBit’s attack was ‘serious’ as we approach a potential ‘World War Three’ following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Professor Curran warned that we were unprepared for this new era as third party companies which hold data on our military infrastructure are not being properly regulated.
‘You can’t just expect third party suppliers to adhere to your rules. There is always a risk when you have third party suppliers and you do wonder if they adhere to industry best practice,’ he said.
