The attackers are said to have hacked the former prime minister's phone for details of negotiations with international allies, whilst she was serving as foreign secretary. Senior Tory MPs have told The Telegraph that MPs are 'constantly' asked to be vigilant to the threat of hacking. 'Every phone, government or private, can be hacked easily,' they said. 'Government phones have no extra protection and swapping numbers just means whoever wants to attack your phone has to find the new number and that will take what? 10 minutes? So there shouldn't be any secret information on phones.' According to The Mail on Sunday the Kremlin agents who hacked Ms Truss's phone while she was foreign secretary are thought to have gained access to sensitive exchanges with foreign officials on Ukraine, as well as private conversations with Kwasi Kwarteng. 'There is no way around this' Sir Iain Duncan Smith, the former Conservative leader, warned that mobile phone communication within government was "very insecure". "All phones are a security risk," he said. "There is no way around this. Easy communications also makes easy hacking. "MPs are constantly reminded to be vigilant but Parliament is still not good at doing this on security and they need to be sharpened up by GCHQ frankly." Tobias Ellwood, chairman of the Defence Select Committee, added: 'We should anticipate if the former foreign secretary was hacked, other senior government, diplomatic and military figures will be too.' Amid accusations that the Government was not taking national security "seriously enough", Michael Gove, the Levelling Up Secretary, insisted it has "very robust protocols" in place. He told Sky News's Sophy Ridge on Sunday programme: "I don't know the full details of what security breach, if any, took place. "What I do know is that the Government has very robust protocols in place in or){kind=link}
