'Visa details safe despite Chinese hack' - minister
Daily Post
|December 20, 2025
THE Government has said it is “pretty confident” that visa applicants’ details have not been compromised in a hack of Foreign Office data, allegedly by a Chinese group.
-
Reports have claimed that a Beijing-linked cyber gang targeted Government servers two months ago, and had accessed information relating to visa details.
The Sun reported on Thursday night that “thousands” of confidential documents and data had been retrieved in the data breach.
The Sun said the Storm 1849 group was responsible for the hack in October.
The Chinese organisation was named publicly in March 2024 in connection with cyber attacks on MPs and the Electoral Commission.
