Russian hackers suspected of compromising British PM’s personal email account

A recently published book and reporting allege that Russia-linked hackers—connected by the UK government to FSB’s Center 18—compromised Keir Starmer’s personal email in 2022, prompting him to change addresses and enable two-factor authentication; the activity is described as part of a wider state-sponsored spearphishing and hack-and-leak campaign that has targeted other British officials and organizations, led to prior public disclosures, and resulted in government attribution and legal action.
