2017 Westminster data breach

The 2017 Westminster data breach occurred on 23 June 2017, when an unauthorised attempt was made to gain access to email accounts belonging to a number of politicians at the United Kingdom's Houses of Parliament. Whitehall officials have claimed that Iran was behind the attack.

The incident was followed by an attempt to hack accounts belonging to politicians at the Scottish Parliament in August 2017.
