The UK has accused Russia's main intelligence agency of attempting to hack the emails of British politicians and officials in order to interfere in the country's democratic processes. Foreign Office minister Leo Docherty stated that Russia has been targeting high-profile individuals and entities with the intention of using the obtained information to meddle in British politics.
Republican lawmaker Rep. Don Bacon of Nebraska revealed that he was targeted by Chinese hackers who breached his personal and campaign emails between May and June of this year, using a vulnerability in Microsoft software. The FBI notified Bacon of the breach, which was part of a larger hacking operation that targeted government officials and organizations. Bacon's support for Taiwan and criticism of China's treatment of the Uyghur community may have made him a target. He vowed to continue advocating for Taiwan and standing up for freedom and human rights. The FBI declined to comment on the matter.
