Nigel Farage’s claim that a Russian hack was behind the disclosure of a £5 million gift he received from a crypto billionaire has been described as “unsubstantiated” by a former chief executive of the National Cyber Security Centre.
A Reform UK source reportedly told the Mail on Sunday that forensic analysis of Mr Farage’s phone by “counter-espionage experts” indicated that “hostile state actors, almost certainly linked to Moscow, had used ‘spear phishing’ tactics to compromise his phone, email and bank accounts”.
