Severa­l top MPs report­edly receiv­ed nuisan­ce calls after their profil­es were access­edLONDON: Phone numbers and other personal details of senior ministers from Britain’s Conservative party were made public by an app security flaw on Saturday, including those of top Brexiteers Michael Gove and Boris Johnson. Several top MPs reportedly received nuisance calls after their profiles were accessed on the official mobile application for the annual party conference, which kicks off this weekend. Fantastic.”A Conservative party spokesperson apologised for the breach, saying the technical issue had “been resolved and the app is now functioning securely”. The opposition Labour Party said the blunder showed the ruling party could not be trusted in matters of security. “They can’t even build a conference app that keeps the data of their members, MPs and others attending safe and secure,” said shadow cabinet office minister Jon Trickett.
