The forces payroll hack - what you need to know | Sitrep podcast

The cyber attack which potentially exposed names and bank details of more than 270,000 people is certainly embarrassing, but what might a “malign actor” do with that information?
The founding Chief Executive of the National Cyber Security Centre, Ciaran Martin, tells Sitrep the hackers haven't got any "crown jewels" but that statements of "no evidence" that data was compromised offer little reassurance.
Professor Michael Clarke explains how it might be part of a Chinese effort to "hoover up data" about UK citizens for future use, and former intelligence officer Colonel Philip Ingram tells us the red flags to watch out for if your data has been taken.
Sitrep hears from Georgia amid mass protests from citizens who say it's turning towards Russia and away from its partnership with Nato.
And we delve into the history of the pocket tools carried by troops, as bladeless versions of the Swiss Army Knife are introduced.
(Support for people affected by the MOD data breach is available on Defence Connect)
Kate Gerbeau presents, with expert analysis from Professor Michael Clarke.
