Hackers Publish Classified Data on British Military Facilities

Hackers have released thousands of pages of highly classified information regarding military and intelligence facilities in the United Kingdom, reports the Mirror newspaper.

“Hackers have leaked highly confidential information about British military and intelligence facilities online,” the publication states.

As noted, the hackers have made available thousands of pages of data that could aid attackers in breaching HMNB Clyde, a nuclear submarine base, the Porton Down chemical weapons laboratory, and a government communications interception hub. The periodical claims that the hackers are allegedly linked to Russia.

According to the publication, the LockBit hacking group was able to steal information about high-security prisons and military facilities, which is said to be the “cyber defense key” of the UK.
