THE hackers who targeted a company which makes warrant cards for the Met are thought to be overseas, The Sun can reveal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The boss of pass specialists Digital ID in Stockport was sent a ransom demand by crooks from a server abroad last Monday.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

However it took five days for the Met to alert its 47,000 cops and civilian staff.<\/p>\n

Ex-Met commander John O\u2019Connor said: \u201cThat is outrageous.\u201d<\/p>\n

The force spent \u00a3467,587 on the cards and civilian passes, a Freedom of Information request revealed, after\u00a0security breaches at police buildings.<\/p>\n

Forgery of old-style police IDs by villains for use in robberies and to dupe people into paying\u00a0Covid\u00a0fines was also behind the move.<\/p>\n

MoD paid out staggering \u00a3107m in compensation for accidents last year<\/h3>\n

The disclosure comes after hackers stole details from the cards produced for the 47,000 cops and civilian staff in the\u00a0London\u00a0force.<\/p>\n

Cyber crooks\u00a0took the photo, name, rank, \u00advetting status, payroll number and security details from a microchip on the IDs.<\/p>\n

A source said: \u201cThe cards were supposed to make all buildings and sites impregnable.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut bosses, in their wisdom, outsourced production and the unthinkable happened.<\/p>\n
