The secretive Computer Network Operations (CNO) Exploitation Unit had its cover blown on the MoD's external job ad website.

Any "extraordinary talented electronics" engineers interested in the £33,000-a-year vacancy would have seen the address and phone number for SAS barracks.
Based in Hereford, the £33k-per-year post was to be filled by an "extraordinary talented electronics engineer" [sic] to "work alongside some of the best scientists and engineers within defence and will be tasked with delivering prototype solutions directly to the soldiers and officers of a unique and specialised military unit."

However, the Ministry of Defence which posted the job on its website soon realised the blunder and took down the advert, which revealed a team within the special forces.

It said the job is to "work alongside some of the best scientists and engineers" to deliver "solutions directly to the soldiers and officers of a unique and specialised military unit," MailOnline reports.
The unit itself was referred to as MAB5 which is thought to be a codename for UK Special Forces tasked with hacking for the SAS.
