Police launch inquiry after MPs targeted in apparent ‘spear-phishing’ attack
04 April 2024
At least a dozen people sent suspicious messages, with senior figures suggesting foreign state could be culprit
A police investigation has been launched after MPs were apparently targeted in a “spear-phishing” attack, in what security experts believe could be an attempt to compromise parliament.
A police force said it had started an inquiry after receiving a complaint from an MP who was sent a number of unsolicited messages last month.
