Tory party demonstrates their tech credentials

UK ruling party's conference app editable by world+dog, blabs members' digits

The UK's Conservative Party has kicked off its annual conference by exposing its MPs' phone numbers to anyone able to guess their email addresses.

Party chairman Brandon Lewis was planning to sell the "interactive" app – which will allow attendees to give feedback on speeches as they happen – as evidence that the ruling party was embracing tech in a bid to win over the youth vote (another idea was to have the culture secretary appear as a hologram).

But soon after its launch, users took to Twitter to point out that that not only were contact details and personal information visible – they could also be edited.

Meanwhile, Conservative MP Nadine Dorries has become embroiled in her own security blunder after pranksters changed the text on her parliamentary website to include suggestions that the Irish border problem could be solved by drones and the blockchain.
