London - British officials say they are reviewing security
measures in the government after a hoax caller managed to get through to
Prime Minister David Cameron on the phone.
Downing Street
officials say the caller, who claimed to be the director of the
eavesdropping agency GCHQ, Robert Hannigan, was put through to Cameron
on Sunday.
They said Cameron ended the call when it became clear it was a hoax, and no sensitive information was disclosed.
Officials said earlier in the day, a caller obtained Hannigan's cell phone number by phoning GCHQ.
All government departments have been alerted for similar calls and security procedures are being reviewed.
