Tobias Ellwood , a former minister in the Conservative government , said the attack had targeted a third party payroll system used by the Ministry of Defence and had all the hallmarks of a Chinese cyber attack. "Targeting the names of the payroll system and service personnel's bank details, this does point to China because it can be as part of a plan, a strategy to see who might be coerced,", the ex-soldier and former chairman of a parliamentary defence committee, told BBC Radio The data breach is believed to have included the names, bank details and in some cases personal addresses of serving and former armed forces members.Stride told Sky News the Ministry of Defence acted "very swiftly" to take the database off line.But, he said, the government was not currently pointing the finger at Beijing.

Sistrix’s Visibility Index measures how successful a website is in Google search results, assigning higher scores to sites that rank better in search results. While Google core updates are nothing new and happen at least once a year, the update launched on 6 March 2024 was, according to SEO experts at Yoast, one of Google's biggest core algorithm updates yet. CloseUnlike the previous core update of late 2023, which particularly hit publishers with a traditional focus on scale often built with the aid of SEO-explainer-style articles, this update has negatively impacted both newer and more traditional news names. In contrast to the last core update, some of the UK’s largest newsbrands by audience size and visibility saw significant percentage shifts in visibility level as a result of this update.

But bosses at the council dispute that assessment and have written to Oflog to request it to rebut the Times article. “The Times has not done this today, and it risks setting a dangerous precedent for poor analysis to enter the public domain. It distorts residents’ views of their local authorities and weakens staff morale to see rankings like this so poorly considered and presented. You will observe that we will be raising our significant concerns about the presentation of Oflog’s data directly with The Times, Ministers and our local MPs.
