The government will not name the country involved, but Sky News understands this to be China.

The cyberattack was on a payroll ...

... All salaries will be paid this month.

The contractor system is not connected to the main MoD computer systems and has been taken down with a review launched.

A system so important that its management was contracted out.

No idea where the breach came from, or how it was done, or exactly who the contracting firm running that system is but "CHINA CHINA CHINA!"

The US department of energy has its own paramilitary force that guards nuclear sites. Despite wearing camo, having a military commander, and considered so called “elite,” they’re just contractors from a private agency - not even self employed.

The DOE protective forces are all contractors, with the management of the force varying from site to site.

Don’t you feel safe that the most militaristic, bloodthirsty nation on earth hires mall cops to guard nukes? It’s even more weird than guys who protect spy bases or Area 51 because they usually wear the company’s provided uniforms but the FPF wear camp like soldiers lol.

I still have it my head that 99% of the land based ICMB arsenal is 100% incapable of launching and I refuse to be corrected.

So, overpaying Paul Blarts to watch the fences around the silos while the military nuke techs sit in their holes playing video games and watching cartoons actually makes me feel pretty comfortable.

wear camp like soldiers lol

I'm sure this is a typo and you mean to say "camo" but soldiers on guard duty in drag queen getup makes me smile.
