Tories commit huge data breach with conference app | The SKWAWKBOX
Just when you thought the Conservative Party – the party currently running the UK’s government, let’s not forget – couldn’t get any more incompetent… this.
I’ll hand you over to Skwawkbox for the embarrassing details:
It was hard to imagine that the Tories could conceivably top last year’s conference disaster. Letters falling off their slogan behind Theresa May, her unstoppable coughing fit and the joke P45 – and of course, the fact that her keynote speech included lines lifted directly from the West Wing – made 2017’s event unforgettable in its incompetence.
But before this year’s drear-fest has even begun, they’ve already done ‘better’, potentially costing themselves £20 million.
A huge flaw has been discovered in the Tories’ conference app that reveals full contact details of each registered person if you simply enter their email address.
