Britain dismisses report claiming Sellafield nuclear site hacking, says no malware exists on our system

FirstPost reports:

Hours after The Guardian report claimed that UK’s most hazardous nuclear site Sellafield has been hacked into by cyber groups closely linked to Russia and China, Britain on Monday said that it has no records or evidence to suggest that networks were compromised.

“Our monitoring systems are robust and we have a high degree of confidence that no such malware exists on our system,” Reuters quoted the government as saying.

“This was confirmed to the Guardian well in advance of publication, along with rebuttals to a number of other inaccuracies in their reporting,” the government added.
