‘Not clear’ who was behind FCDO hack, says minister, amid reports of China link – UK politics live
AI Summary
A UK government minister confirmed that the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) experienced a cyber-attack in October. While the responsible party remains unconfirmed by the government, media reports suggest a Chinese hacker group, Storm 1849, may be behind the breach. Separately, a Reform-run Kent council is facing scrutiny for allegedly obstructing transparency. A Labour MP, Polly Billington, claims the council has delayed providing evidence, requested in July via a Freedom of Information request, to support its claim of saving over £40 million by cancelling two non-existent environmental projects. The delay has fueled accusations that the council is attempting to avoid accountability.
