MP names contractor running hacked MoD system
Despite the Defence Secretary’s statement, he still has many serious questions to answer on the breach itself. Who held the data that was hacked? When was it discovered? When were ministers told? How was it leaked to the press? On the contractor Defence Business Services, say Shared Services Connected Limited has the MOD contract for core payroll and other business services. How many contracts does SSC or its parent company have with the Mod? What action has been taken by other government departments? SSCL contracts. He has named the contractor that was involved. I can confirm that’s the correct name SSCL and as I mentioned in my comments, we have both ordered. A full review of their work with MMOD, but have gone further than that as well and I’ve requested from the Cabinet Office a full review of their work across government as well as within MOD, which is underway.
