Prime Minister Boris Johnson gathered cabinet ministers earlier this week using Zoom to discuss the latest lockdown measures

Andrew Dwyer, who researches cybersecurity at the University of Bristol, wrote on Twitter:"Seriously worried by the security of cabinet being conducted over Zoom.

"What is happening here? This is not okay.
