Nigel Farage’s Russian hack claim ‘without any merit’, former NCSC chief says

Nigel Farage's claim that a Russian hack influenced a Guardian report about a £5m gift he received from a crypto billionaire has been dismissed as 'without any merit' by Ciaran Martin, former head of the National Cyber Security Centre. Martin stated the allegation is 'entirely unsubstantiated' and lacks evidence.
