Suspected state-backed Russian hackers are believed to have stolen the entire contents of a personal email account used by former British trade minister Liam Fox as part of an attempt to sway the 2019 UK election, two sources told Reuters.

Some of the hacked documents detailing UK trade negotiations with the United States were then leaked online by what London has said were “Russian actors” seeking to interfere in British politics. Moscow has denied the allegations. “It would be unusual for hackers to make off with just one email,” one of the sources said. “You don’t stop to read them in the middle of the heist.”
“But as you would expect, the Government has very robust systems in place to protect the IT systems of officials and staff.”
