The personal information of an unknown number of serving UK military personnel has been accessed in a significant data breach, the BBC understands.
The hack targeted a payroll system used by the Ministry of Defence, which includes names and bank details of both current and some past armed forces members.
In a very small number of cases, the data may include personal addresses.
It is unknown who is behind the hack or what the data may be used for.
