    just got this by email today:

    http://www.zdnet.com/u-k-ministry-of-defence-hit-by-cyberattack-data-stolen-7000017831/?s_cid=e036&ttag=e036

    its not "breaking news" so much as someone spotting it in a parliamentary report long after the fact but interesting all the same. No details unfortunately but maybe , given the publicity, something will be released in the near future.

    extract:
    The latest annual report from the U.K. Parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC) has disclosed that the U.K.'s Ministry of Defence suffered a cyberattack in which data was stolen.

    Despite heavy redactions to protect sources and budgets from prying eyes, the admission was buried halfway through the document in a section detailing how the U.K. government can and is protecting itself against foreign cyberthreats and attacks.
