Russia, China, North Korea and Iran could try to disrupt the UK general election with cyber hacks and deep fakes, MPs have been warned. Parliament’s office of science and technology has issued “rapid response” guidance to warn politicians, electoral registration officers and the voting public of the threat, including a potential hack of their identities and the online electoral registration system, as well as the possible creation of deep fakes of prominent MPs.
At the same time, an influential committee of MPs and peers has written to the Prime Minister to warn him that the UK “must be prepared for the possibility of foreign interference” during the general election, including from China, Russia, North Korea and Iran, which is designed to “sow division and cause chaos”.
