The personal e-mail account of Sir Keir Starmer was compromised by Kremlin-linked Hackers shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine, was claimed last night.
According to Get In, Starmer was a new book about Labor's Journey to Power, forced to stop using the E -mail address after the security services in 2022 suspected a Russian hack.
The refined operation happened when Starmer was the leader of the opposition and led him to change his e -mail address.
Jill Cuthbertson, his office head, dedicated staff to e -mail Starmer.
The relationships were reported by journalists Patrick Maguire and Gabriel Pogrund in their book Get Ins, which is selected in the Times and Sunday Times.
The Labor leader was forced to change his e -mail address, a source of which it was 'dangerously clear'.
Starmer has also added two-factor authentication, whereby the user has to activate a second security check, usually via text or e-mail.
It is not the first case of Cyberwarfare that is reportedly used by the Russians on a political leader.

Former Prime Minister Liz Truss reportedly hacked her phone when she was Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Sir Keir was the target shortly after the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Other political figures directed by Hacks were the former head of Mi6 Sir Richard Dearlove and former BBC journalist Paul Mason.
Mr. Mason advised the then secretary of Defense John Healey about policy, including Russia when he was hacked.
He was shortly before the invasion of Ukraine and then sent briefings to Healey and Starmer.
He received answers from Healey who would have given the hackers insight into Labor's defense policy, although this was while they were still in opposition and had 'limited intelligence value'.
While 20,000 of the e -mails of Sir Richard were leaked online, Hackers did not publish Mr. Mason and instead started sending fake messages with malware to his contacts.
These contacts include Sir Keir and colleague MPs for the Voorste Bank.
