MP EMAILS 'HACKED BY RUSSIANS'

Stewart McDonald feared the messages would have been made public after he fell victim to a phishing scam.

McDonald, who represents Glasgow South, said the incident had occurred in early January when a hacking group believed to be linked to Russia's intelligence services emailed him pretending to be a member of his staff.

After clicking on a document sent from the staff member's real email address, the MP entered details into a login page.
