Hi all,

At first glance, this article from Which? about a cyber attack on the UK's Electoral Commission may appear irrelevant to a forum about life in Spain. However, you'll see that it specifically references those who could be at risk as including "some overseas voters" and those who registered to vote in the UK between 2014 and 2022. I doubt I'm the only member this applies to:

Kind regards,

Kim

Already disenfranchised due to the 15 year rule but I wouldn't vote for any of the disreputable shower anyway so no loss or concern to me.

Thankfully a lot of this information is available through the electoral register. But thank you for sharing this as some may well have been compromised.
