Sellafield pleaded guilty to criminal charges over years of cybersecurity failings.

It left information that could threaten national security exposed for four years .

It was also found that 75% of its computer servers were vulnerable to cyber-attack.

Judge said the case fell into a category “bordering on negligence” and a “dereliction of responsibilities”.

“ Sellafield has not been subjected to a successful cyber-attack. “We’ve already made significant improvements to our systems, network, and structures to ensure we are better protected and more resilient. “The cyber threat is continually evolving, and we will continue to work with the regulator to ensure we meet the high standards rightly required of us.”.
