A major flaw in the Conservative Party conference app temporarily allowed anyone to login in and view the personal details of others using it - including Cabinet ministers. I’m currently logged in to the Conservative Conference app as Boris Johnson and now have his phone number. The blunder was discovered by journalists attending the annual Tory conference. Jacobin’s Dawn Foster tweeted screenshots showing how she could log into Boris Johnson’s account without being asked for a password or provide confirmation. Once in, Johnson’s personal details which he’d provided to sign up to the app were freely available.
