Rishi Sunak has reassured the public following a major data breach at the Ministry of Defence, which impacted a third-party payroll system.
"I do want to reassure people the Ministry of Defence has already taken action, removing the network and taking it offline and making sure the people affected are supported in the right way," he said.
He refused to be drawn on claims China is behind the data breach, but confirmed defence secretary Grant Shapps will address MPs in the House of Commons later today.

During a discussion on the Agniveer scheme for entry into the Armed Forces, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi criticised the treatment of Agniveers. He highlighted a recent incident where an Agniveer lost his life in a landmine blast but was not recognized as a martyr. Gandhi described the Agniveer scheme as treating soldiers as "use & throw labourers," implying that it fails to honour their sacrifices and contributions adequately. His comments underscored concerns about the scheme's implications for the dignity and recognition of those serving in the Armed Forces.
