Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov denied reports alleging that Russian intelligence agencies hacked former British Prime Minister Liz Truss’s phone.
Peskov affirmed that these claims should be treated as "tabloid reporting," adding that "British media outlets currently offer few reports that can be taken seriously."The report alleged that "Liz Truss's personal mobile phone was hacked by agents suspected of working for the Kremlin."
The hack was discovered in July, shortly before Truss entered a race for prime minister.
The paper mentioned that "the astonishing incident, disclosed by security sources, solves the mystery of why Truss was forced to change the mobile number she had used for over a decade shortly before becoming Prime Minister."
