Rishi Sunak’s mobile phone number leaked online in major security breach

Rishi Sunak’s long-time personal phone number has been leaked online in a major security breach, it has been revealed.

Report informs via Independent that the prime minister was targeted by social media pranksters who published a video online of the phone ringing before Mr Sunak’s answerphone message kicked in.

The PM was given a new number when he came to power a year ago, but the pranksters’ video appears to show his personal number still in operation.

The video, also seen by The Independent, shows a phone dialling Mr Sunak’s number. An automated voicemail says “voicemail service for,” before the PM states his name.

It is not known how the number was leaked, and Downing Street said it would not comment on security matters.
