File talk:Truss iCloud admin access.jpeg

Alleged phone hack was when she was foreign secretary, that is before the pipelines were sabotaged. My guess is that Ru MoD was based on circumstantial evidence, as sea drones were launched on Sevastopol from a Ukrainian Black sea port, Ochakov or Odessa, and they may have the location from the drones' wreckage chips. And they'd like to highlight that there is a facility controlled by British and US, somehow figuring to put the blame on the British. There was a Russian strike on SOF in Ochakov the next day after Sevastopol attack, and likely that was 'an irritant' for a while. No idea of course what other intelligence or hacks Russians may have. --Resup (talk) 22:53, 30 October 2022 (UTC)


 * KimDotcom's tweet implied that icloud server was accessed, rather than a personal device hack. --Diagonal (talk) 14:44, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

IT'S DONE! - Kim Dotcom solves Nord Stream mystery (not)
On October 30 Kim Dotcom speculated on Twitter


 * How do the Russians know that the UK blew up the North Stream pipelines in partnership with the US?
 * Because @trussliz used her iPhone to send a message to @SecBlinken saying “It’s done” a minute after the pipeline blew up and before anybody else knew?
 * iCloud admin access rocks!

Asia Markets reported on the tweet the same day:


 * ‘IT’S DONE’: Did Liz Truss text Antony Blinken after Nord Stream attack?
 * ''Former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss sent a text message saying ‘it’s done’ to the US Secretary of State Antony Blinken immediately after the Nord Stream attack, according to a controversial online commentator.
 * ''Kim Dotcom, a self-proclaimed ‘Internet Freedom Fighter’, says the text message is the reason Russia believes the United Kingdom was involved in blowing up the gas pipeline.
 * ''“Liz Truss used her iPhone to send a message to Secretary Blinken saying ‘it’s done’ a minute after the pipeline blew up and before anybody else knew,” he told his nearly one million Twitter followers.
 * ''Dotcom, who was born Kim Schmitz in West Germany, suggested the data was obtained through an iCloud hack.
 * ''“It’s not just the Five Eyes that have backdoor admin access to all Big Tech databases,” he said.
 * ''“Russia and China have sophisticated cyber units too. The funny thing is Govt officials with top security clearance still prefer using iPhones over their NSA & GCHQ issued encrypted shit-phones.”
 * ''It’s is important to note that Kim Dotcom, who now resides in New Zealand, did not offer any form of factual evidence to back up his claim.

The tweet has now snowballed into an international incident. From Sputnik today:


 * Moscow Wants Answers Over Truss' Alleged 'It's Done' SMS to Blinken Moments After Nord Stream Blasts
 * ''Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova wants answers regarding the mysterious “It’s done” iPhone message allegedly sent by then-Prime Minister Liz Truss to the US secretary of state moments after the sabotage attacks against the Nord Stream network in late September.
 * ''“To be honest, I don’t care who got this information and how. I’m interested in London’s answer to the following question: Did Prime Minister Liz Truss of Britain send a message to US Secretary of State Antony Blinken immediately after the Nord Stream gas pipeline was blown up with the words ‘It’s done’?” Zakharova asked in a Telegram post Tuesday.

Now even the Daily Mail is reporting the story as almost confirmed.

 * Presumably Kim Dotcom or contact had found out Liz Truss's phone number as it was available (see Daily Mail, Oct 2) and are claiming to have accessed the icloud servers where they found the text. (Maybe she kept the same phone number even after previous handset was found compromised). But that would seem very lax. --Diagonal (talk) 09:20, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
 * In fact the Oct 2, Mail article stated that 26 current phone numbers of British Cabinet members were available. --Diagonal (talk) 09:53, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
