Whilst the MOD do not currently have any proof that any of our Service Person's data has been compromised, we must be prudent and assume that it may have been.
To protect you, the MOD have purchased licences with a market leading personal data protection service - which you will be able to access on a personal device of your choosing. This will assist in the assurance, safety, and security of your data.
This is only available to all Service Personnel and Spouses/Partners who share a Bank Account with a Serving Person who has their Service Pay paid into it.
If you are a Spouse/Partner who shares a Bank Account with a Serving Person who has their Service Pay paid into it, please read the FAQ Document.
If you have a Serving Person deployed - the CoC will be providing activation codes, however these can also be received by emailing [email protected] , with your Service Person's Surname, Service Number and Unit. (see note FAQ#17.)
