"The story is completely off the wall. Hackers can't and have not accessed our satellites. It is impossible for a hacker to get into the system," a spokesman said.
The spokesman believes the story has been confused with a current Scotland Yard investigation. "The Fraud Squad are investigating a hacker who is accessing international sites but it has nothing to do with the MOD," he said.
Scotland Yard was unavailable for comment.
