From the article:

The Mail on Sunday said that the hack was discovered when Truss was running to become Conservative Party leader and prime minister in the summer. It said the security breach was kept secret by then-Prime Minister Boris Johnson and the head of the civil service.

The newspaper, citing unnamed sources, said Russian spies were suspected of the hack. It said the hackers gained access to sensitive information, including discussions about the Ukraine war with foreign officials, as well as private conversations between Truss and a political ally, former Treasury chief Kwasi Kwarteng.

The U.K. government spokesperson declined to comment on security arrangements, but said it had “robust systems in place to protect against cyber threats,” including regular security briefings for ministers.

Opposition parties demanded an independent investigation into the hack, and into the leak of the information to a newspaper.

“Was Liz Truss’s phone hacked by Russia, was there a news blackout and if so why?” said Liberal Democrat foreign affairs spokesperson Layla Moran. “If it turns out this information was withheld from the public to protect Liz Truss’ leadership bid, that would be unforgivable.”

Not that these rules do any good if the Tory in question thinks they're too important to follow the rules, or if they're just lazy and incompetent.

Also Sunak isn't exactly free here either - he re-hired Suella Braverman who resigned her position as Truss's home secretary for getting caught repeatedly sending sensitive information via her personal email account (she lied about it until she was presented with proof, but that's standard for Conservatives). Now Sunak looks just as indifferent with national security as Truss was, and that's one of the few areas where voters (bizarrely, given the facts of the matter) rate the Tory's highly.

You can't blame her, she was just on her way to cut funding for starving African kids dying of AIDS or something. THE ANTICHRIST HAS DEMANDED MORE SUFFERING AND HIS MINIONS MUST MAKE HASTE

Look, the Tories get years to raid the public purse and strip workers rights, but every so often they have to pull their finger out and con the public into giving them more years to rape and pillage the country, because gulling them into voluntarily choosing to keep the boot on their neck makes them less likely to object to it. So even if the next election is an eternity or two away it still helps to keep tabs on voters and their little feelings.
