An attack on security firm Zaun, which holds information on militarily sensitive sites, has been described as ‘serious and of huge concern’.
Cyberattacks by the UK’s enemies are becoming “relentless” as we enter a “new era” of global conflict, an expert has warned.
The “potentially very damaging” attack last month by hacking group LockBit, which has known links to Russian nationals, saw thousands of pages of data leaked onto the dark web after private security firm Zaun was targeted, the Sunday Mirror newspaper reported.The company, which provides security fencing for sites related to the Ministry of Defence, said it had been the victim of a “sophisticated cyberattack”.
He said the raid was “likely” sponsored by the Russian state given the nature of its target and that cyberattacks by Britain’s enemies had become “relentless”. “They are relentless with these attacks. Their best way into our country is through our cybersecurity. This is the nation at risk.Edward Lucas, a security and defence specialist, said: “The problem is that we don’t live in a bubble – we bring stuff from the outside world. That’s where the vulnerabilities are.
