Foreign Secretary Lord David Cameron fell victim to a hoax involving a fake video call and text messages from someone impersonating Petro Poroshenko, the former president of Ukraine. The Foreign Office issued a statement detailing the incident, stating that “some text messages were exchanged, followed by a brief video call between the Foreign Secretary and an individual falsely claiming to be Petro Poroshenko.” The call is believed to have taken place in recent days and was “brief,” but the Foreign Office did not elaborate on the party behind the impersonation or how they had Cameron’s contact details. “Whilst regretting his mistake, the Foreign Secretary thinks it important to call out this behaviour and increase efforts to counter the use of misinformation,” the foreign office said. The incident marks the second time a British foreign minister has been caught out by a hoax call.
