Rishi Sunak’s long time personal phone number has been leaked online in a major security breach.

It has been revealed that UK Prime Minister was targeted by social media prankster who published a video online of a phone ringing before Sunak’s answerphone message kicked in, as per The Sun.

The PM was assigned a new number a year ago, when he came into power. However, the video by prankster claimed that his personal number was still active.

The video, viewed by The Independent, shows a phone dialing Sunak’s number. An automated voicemail says “voicemail service for,” before the PM states his name.

It is not yet clear how the number was leaked, and the Downing Street has stated that it will not comment on security matters.
