Not even started

of MP's.


I do hope Andrew Marr BBC1HD Live 10AM Sunday,

Of Course that have stopped the App now - until fixed.

[A major security flaw in the official Conservative Party Conference app has been uncovered,
which allowed anyone to access and change the personal details of
ministers, MPs and all other attendees.
The app did not require a password to access attendees' accounts, making it possible
to access the email addresses and mobile phone numbers of Chancellor Philip Hammond
and former foreign secretary Boris Johnson.
Anybody could type in an attendee's email address - MP's are available
on the parliament website - to access their profile.]

[Sky News has found that it was also possible to change the photos and details
of cabinet members, MPs, journalists and local councillors
attending conference in Birmingham.

Environment secretary Michael Gove's picture was reportedly
changed to one of Rupert Murdoch, and his email to a fictional Sun newspaper address.

[The blunder comes on the eve of the conference in Birmingham, and will cause headaches
for ministers including Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt and
Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson who both had their accounts hacked.
Hackers also replaced Michael Gove's image with that of Rupert Murdoch
and were able to harvest Boris Johnson's personal information too.

The CPC 2018 app allowed anyone to log in as a politician,
delegate or journalist attending the Birmingham event simply using their email address.]
