Attackers said to have gained access to details of negotiations with international allies, as well as messages exchanged with Kwasi Kwarteng
Liz Truss’s personal phone was hacked for top-secret information by suspected Russian agents, according to the Mail on Sunday.
The attackers are said to have gained access to details of negotiations with international allies, as well as private messages exchanged with her close friend Kwasi Kwarteng.
The hack was uncovered during the Tory leadership campaign this summer, while Ms Truss was foreign secretary but the details were suppressed by then prime minister Boris Johnson and Simon Case, cabinet secretary.
The Mail on Sunday spoke to one source who said the phone had been compromised so severely it had not been placed in a locked safe in a secure location.
