Keir Starmer, the Labour leader, halted the use of a personal email account following a warning from the National Cyber Security Centre about a suspected Russian hack in 2022. This decision was made after staff received instructions to avoid sending messages to the email address, as there were concerns about sensitive information being compromised. The incident was part of broader cybersecurity threats facing politicians, particularly during the geopolitical tension following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Starmer's new account now includes improved security features to mitigate such risks.
According to a recent report, Keir Starmer ceased using a personal email account during his leadership due to concerns over a suspected Russian hacking attempt.
The National Cyber Security Centre warned Starmer's team about a potential hack, leading to a decision to enhance security measures after recognizing vulnerabilities.
