The attack, believed to have been done two or three times, was on a third-party payroll system including the details of tens of thousands of British armed forces and veterans.
The MoD has been working over the last three days to understand the scale of the hack, after it was recently discovered, Sky News reported. The Ministry of Defence was approached for comment.
It is not believed any data was taken and the MoD urged service people not to be concerned for their safety. MPs will be told about the attack today.
