A former member of Parliament of the United Kingdom Liz Truss’ phone has been hacked while she was foreign secretary.

The hack was discovered during the summer Tory leadership campaign but the news was suppressed, BBC said.

The government has been urged to open an investigation to find out who hacked Ms Truss phone.

Spies are suspected to be working with the Russian president Vladimir Putin . They gained access to sensitive information that include discussions about the war of Ukraine with the foreign officials.
