    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    The personal information of an unknown number of serving UK military personnel has been accessed in a significant data breach, the BBC understands.

    The hack targeted a payroll system used by the Ministry of Defence, which includes names and bank details of both current and some past armed forces members.

    The MoD is in the process of notifying and providing support and advice to those affected, including making veterans’ organisations aware of what has happened.

    While it has not been disclosed who is behind this hack, it comes amid increased warnings about cyber-security threats facing the UK from hostile states and third parties.

    Last year, the government published an updated version of its long-term defence strategy which said the use of “commercial spyware, ransomware and offensive cyber capabilities by state and non-state actors has proliferated”.

    In March, the government publicly accused China of being behind an August 2021 hack targeting the details of millions of voters held by the Electoral Commission.
