The security minister has issued a statement urging minister to step up their phone secuirty
The security minister has issued a warning to MPs to improve their mobile phone security amid reports of hacking.
Writing to MPS, Sir Lindsay said: "If hackers have switched on the microphone on one phone, everyone in the room might be overheard". It comes after reports revealed that former Prime Minister Liz Truss was subject to her personal phone being hacked by agents suspected of working for the Kremlin while she was acting as foreign secretary.
Sir Lindsay said: "As recent events have highlighted, hostile states continue to target Parliamentarians to gain insight into, or exert influence over, our democratic processes for their economic, military or political advantage.” “They go almost everywhere with us, and have cameras and sensitive microphones built in, making them a potential goldmine for hostile states who wish to obtain sensitive information about Parliament and parliamentarians.”
