The case of cyber attack on Britain’s Ministry of Defense has come to light. The cyber attack has attempted to collect the names, bank accounts and other information of many former defense personnel. Cyber experts have expressed apprehensions that information related to it could be misused. However, experts are not taking direct names. But somewhere, efforts are being made to resolve the matter keeping China in mind. Experts have said that the Ministry of Defense has already become a victim of cyber attacks. Many in Britain are now trolling China for the continued attacks.
The statement of Britain’s Work and Pensions Minister Mel Stride has come out. who have expressed apprehensions that the attack was carried out to find out the operations of an outside firm. But they are taking it very seriously. Former Conservative government minister Tobias Ellwood directly blamed Dragons for the attack. Ellwood said that all the symptoms seen in this attack perfectly match China. The payroll system, which the Ministry of Defense uses an external firm, was directly attacked.
An indirect warning to China
Ellwood has previously held the responsibilities of Military and Parliamentary Defense Chair. He said that China has carried out such planned attacks many times before. Therefore, China may be behind the attempt to tamper with the payroll system and names of service personnel. Because he might want to see what damage this would do to the ministry? Minister Stride said he thwarted the attack. The Ministry of Defense was quick to take the database offline as soon as the cyber attack was reported. He directly denied Beijing’s involvement in the attack. Said that there are fears that the symptoms observed in the attack are pointing somewhere towards China.
