2017 Westminster data breach
Cyberattack targeting UK politicians / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2017 Westminster data breach occurred on 23 June 2017, when an unauthorised attempt was made to gain access to email accounts belonging to a number of politicians at the United Kingdom's Houses of Parliament.[1] Whitehall officials have claimed that Iran was behind the attack. [2]
The incident was followed by an attempt to hack accounts belonging to politicians at the Scottish Parliament in August 2017.
