Military Systems Hacked

Some personal information in a payroll system used by Britain's defence department has been accessed in a data breach, the BBC reported on Monday.

Sandworm, a group linked to Russia's foreign military intelligence agency might be behind a recent cyberattack in Ukraine, said cybersecurity company ESET. The hacking team allegedly deployed SwiftSlice . Once executed, the SwiftSlicer deletes shadow copies, recursively overwrites files in the system and non-system drives and then reboots the compu...

The email system is used by the Pentagon's Joint Staff, an organization of some 3,500 military officers and civilians who work for the chairman.

The US Defense Department is building a massive, electronic system to provide an overview of the vulnerabilities of the military's computer networks, weapons systems, and installations, and help officials prioritize how to fix them, the deputy commander of US Cyber Command said on Thursday.

US authorities have charged a Chinese businessman with hacking into the computer systems of U.S. companies with large defense contracts, including Boeing, to steal data on military projects, including some of its latest fighter jets, officials said Friday.

A previously unknown flaw in a recent version of Microsoft Corp's Internet Explorer web browser is being used to attack Internet users, including some visitors to a major site for U.S. military veterans, researchers said on Thursday.

A US security expert says he has identified ways to remotely attack high-end surveillance cameras used by industrial plants, prisons, banks and the military, something that potentially would allow hackers to spy on facilities or gain access to sensitive computer networks.

The Defence Department suffered one of its worst digital attacks in history in March, when a foreign intelligence service hacked into the computer system of a corporate contractor and obtained 24,000 Pentagon files during a single intrusion, senior officials said Thursday. The disclosure came as the Pentagon released a strategy for military operati...
