Man of Honour
Haven't seen this anywhere else yet but the Electoral Commission admitting that they were subject to a "complex" cyberattack in which its systems were accessed by an unnamed "hostile actor".
Names, Addresses, Email addresses and other info held on electoral registers was compromised.
It was first identified in October 2022...... and then an investigation found the systems had first been accessed in August 2021!!
Brilliant, job well done by the Electoral Commission, I hope it focuses some attention and funding to securing information around our elections a bit more urgently!
