The spokesperson said, “The government has robust systems in place to guard against cyber threats. In this, ministers are given regular security briefings, advice on how to protect their personal data and how to reduce cyber threats.
Boris Johnson pressed the matter – report
According to the report, the phone hack came to light when Truss was campaigning to win the leadership of the Conservative Party, which resulted in her becoming prime minister. The matter was suppressed by the then Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Cabinet Secretary Simon Case.
According to the Daily Mail report, the messages that have gone into foreign hands also include criticism of Boris Johnson from Truss and Quarteng. According to the report, a source informed that the phone was tampered with so much that it is now in a locked safe in a secure government place. Let us tell you that last week Truss resigned from the post of Prime Minister. Due to the economic turmoil of Britain, he had a short tenure of just 44 days. She was the shortest-term PM in the history of Britain. In place of Truss, Indian-origin Rishi Sunak has become the new Prime Minister of Britain.
