<p>The recent MoD security breach with the compromise of MoD payroll information is
the work of malign cyber actors who compromised a contractor-run network entirely
separate from the MoD core system. A specialist security review of the contractor
and its operations is under way by the MoD. We cannot rule out a state or criminal
actor at this stage. Investigations are ongoing and appropriate steps will be taken.</p><p>We
consider every case on its merits and will not always name who was responsible for
a specific incident. Should the UK Government choose to respond publicly, it will
do so at a time of our choosing when we judge it is in the best interests of the UK
to do so.</p>
