Scottish MP Stewart McDonald has claimed his emails have been hacked by a Russian spy service. The Scottish National Party (SNP) MP for Glasgow South told the BBC his emails were stolen and he feared they would be made public after he fell victim to a phishing scam.
Mr McDonald told the broadcaster the incident had occurred in early January when a hacking group believed to be linked to Russia’s intelligence services emailed him pretending to be a member of his staff.
After clicking on the document which was sent from the staff member’s actual email address, the MP entered his login details into a login page.
