SIR Keir Starmer was reportedly forced to scrap his personal email account after the security services investigated a suspected Russian hack.
Jill Cuthbertson, his office head, told staff not to message the then opposition leader under any circumstances in 2022.
Starmer then changed his email address, which a source said had been “dangerously obvious”, adding security checks.
The PM’s account was compromised shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine.
There was no evidence emails were published, but the security services could not guarantee that sensitive information had not been stolen.
This was during a similar time when Kremlin operatives hacked accounts of British Eurosceptics including Sir Richard Dearlove, the former head of MI6.
More than 20,000 emails were later leaked online.
Details were revealed in Get In, a book charting Starmer’s rise and serialised in The Sunday Times.
Liz Truss, the former Conservative prime minister, was said to have had her phone hacked when she was foreign secretary.
The hack was discovered during the Tory leadership campaign, but the news was suppressed.
