British minister banned the use of Apple Watch because of the threat from "Russian hackers"

Members of the UK Cabinet banned from coming to the meeting in the Apple Watch smart watches out of concern that the device may be compromised by Russian hackers, the newspaper The Telegraph.

The publication notes that when the government led by David Cameron, a number of ministers have used "smart" Apple Watch, but after the British Prime Minister has become Theresa May, the use of smart watches ban was introduced during the meeting, which was caused by fears that the clock can be converted into the listening devices. Earlier, a similar ban was introduced in relation to mobile phones.

The report did not specify whether it is a question only of the Apple smart watches or any other similar devices. At the same time, an unnamed source told reporters that "the Russian general, all trying to crack."

Recall that on Friday, the US Department and Office of National Intelligence Director of Homeland Security officially accused Russia of involvement in hacker attacks on the US Democratic party server. The Kremlin has called the accusations nonsense.
