Experts pour cold borscht on Farage's Russian hack claim

National security and digital forensics experts have criticized Nigel Farage's claim that Russian actors hacked his phone to leak a report about a £5 million donation; Farage’s team reportedly engaged counter-espionage analysts who allegedly linked the compromise to Moscow, but the experts and the UK's NCSC say no forensic evidence, malware samples, or indicators have been made public and the assertion remains unproven.
