Now hackers target Army

FOREIGN intelligence services are ‘actively targeting’ the Ministry of Defence with cyber attacks more than ever before, troops have been warned.

Soldiers have been told foreign spies could compromise the military network.

Advice in Army barracks in recent weeks said: ‘The MoD and its people are very prominent targets for cyber attackers. Almost every piece of technology you use has vulnerabilities that leave it open to compromise.’

They were warned hackers could activate cameras and microphones on their devices. The MoD said it constantly reviewed security arrangements.
