e5tfeyi1\">\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\"><b class=\"ssrcss-1xjjfut-BoldText e5tfeyi3\">Prime Minister Andy Burnham exchanged messages with a person posing as the chief of staff to US President Donald Trump.<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Downing Street has declined to comment on the security breach, first reported by Politico.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Politico reported that officials said Burnham communicated with the person claiming to be Susie Wiles &#8220;before becoming suspicious that the contact was illegitimate&#8221; and claimed only a &#8220;few messages&#8221; were exchanged.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">A government spokesperson said: &#8220;We do not comment on national security matters.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">It is understood the communication between Burnham and the person posing as Wiles was in the form of messages and there was no conversation between the two.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;No messages of significance&#8221; were exchanged and the texts were &#8220;quickly reported to the appropriate authorities&#8221; once they were believed to be suspicious, sources said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Downing Street did not say when the messages were exchanged, or how many there were, nor whether they were over Whatsapp or another system.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">A White House official told the BBC on Monday morning that the latest incident &#8220;had nothing to do&#8221; with Wiles&#8217; phone being hacked. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The BBC has previously reported an FBI probe into Wiles&#8217; phone being hacked in May last year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">At that time, Wiles said her phone had been hacked after an impersonator, or impersonators, used her contacts file to message other top US officials.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The impersonation was targeted at her personal phone, not government phone, but recipients included US senators, governors and top business executives.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Wiles, a key Trump ally, was also among those targeted by a cyber espionage unit associated with Iran&#8217;s Revolutionary Guards &#8211; a powerful branch of Iran&#8217;s armed forces &#8211; in 2024.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-block=\"flourish\"

Foreign Office (FCDO) confirmed then-foreign secretary David Cameron had fallen victim to a hoax call with someone pretending to be former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Lord Cameron also exchanged some text messages with the impersonator pretending to be Poroshenko, who was president of Ukraine between 2014 and 2019.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">During his term as prime minister, Lord Cameron had multiple dealings with the Ukrainian leader, including meetings at international summits.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The FCDO said it released details of the exchange publicly over fears it could be &#8220;manipulated&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Two more government ministers were targeted in 2022, by an imposter pretending to be Ukraine&#8217;s prime minister between 2020 and 2025, Denys Shmyhal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Defence Secretary Ben Wallace blamed Russian &#8220;dirty tricks&#8221; for the calls, made via Microsoft Teams, which Home Secretary Priti Patel confirmed she also received.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">At the time, a Ministry of Defence source said the video call was &#8220;fairly sophisticated&#8221; and came via &#8220;another government department&#8221;, which added to its credibility.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-block=\"links\" class=\"ssrcss-vxwoax-ComponentWrapper
