Secret information and classified UK government servers potentially accessed by Chinese hackers for over a decade

• Dominic Cummings claimed Chinese cyber spies had access to classified British systems for years, including “Strap” data
• The Cabinet Office and cyber security experts strongly denied any breach or investigation took place
• Claims sparked debate; Cummings offered to testify if Parliament opens an inquiry

For “many years”, Chinese cyber spies lived in high-level British security systems and obtained “vast amounts” of classified government information, claims Dominic Cummings, a British political strategist who served as chief adviser to former prime minister Boris Johnson.

This claim sent ripples throughout Britain, leading to a swift rejection by the Cabinet Office – not everyone agrees with him.
