  • The UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) is investigating allegations that Russian hackers have stolen hundreds of sensitive military documents and published them on the dark web.

  • Documents reportedly contain details about eight Royal Air Force and Royal Navy bases, including RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk, which hosts US Air Force F-35 jets, as well as personal information of MoD staff such as names and emails.

  • The contractor Dodd Group confirmed it suffered a ransomware attack in which unauthorized access was gained to parts of its internal systems. The company has taken immediate action to contain the breach and engaged a forensic IT firm to investigate further.
