Ministry of Defence dealt with more than 1,000 cyber attacks last year, says Liam Fox. Attacks are mainly in the form of spam emails, which also include attempts to steal information from the MoD’s computer systems. Fox said that security incidents in cyberspace had more than doubled between 2009 and 2010. The government has been keen to highlight the scale of the cyber threat to the UK. The MoD has already announced plans to hire ‘hundreds’ of cyber security experts to embed cyber capabilities in the UK’s defences.”]
