I don't understand either:
"It is understood investigations have not shown any data has been taken."
Versus
"The cyberattack was on a payroll system with current service personnel and some veterans. It is largely names and bank details that have been exposed."
Surely it's one or the other, they've either got hold of those details or not.
- chrisjj 2y agoIt can be both. Data was exposed but not taken. Or data was taken but investigations failed to show that.
- some-human 2y agoBut surely if it was exposed they have to assume it was taken? If you can view the data then you could have saved it locally, print it or screenshot it, even write it down with a notepad and pen. For all intents and purposes if they've accessed it, they've taken it?
- chrisjj 2y agoThey may indeed assume it was taken, but that's not inconsistent with your report extract.
- some-human 2y agoThe BBC now reports data was taken: "The personal information of an unknown number of serving UK military personnel has been accessed in a significant data breach, the BBC understands." via https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-68966497 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-68966497
