Britain’s Royal Navy was forced to take down its website after it was disrupted by hackers, according to the Ministry of Defence.
At the time of publication, a message on the Royal Navy website reads: “Unfortunately the Royal Navy website is currently undergoing essential maintenance. Please visit again soon.”
It comes only weeks after the Government announced a £650 million national cyber security programme.
“We can confirm that there was a compromise of the Royal Navy website over the weekend,” a spokesman said in a statement.
“There has been no malicious damage; but as a precaution, the RN website has been temporarily suspended. Security teams are investigating.”
Perhaps the Royal Navy needs to get this engineer to turn the server off and on again.
