‘Version of PIN’ for Boris Johnson’s old phone may have been found by govt
SKY News says A breakthrough may have been made in attempts to unlock Boris Johnson’s old mobile phone.
An ally of the former prime minister has suggested that a “version” of the device’s PIN has been found by the government.
The phone was used until May 2021, and likely contains WhatsApp messages related to the ordering of coronavirus lockdowns – as well as the Johnson administration’s early response to the pandemic.
On Monday, the government missed a deadline to hand over this evidence to the COVID inquiry.
According to The Times, the delay was because Mr Johnson had forgotten the password to the phone.
