On April 20th, a former staffer at the House of Parliament got arrested last week under the Computer Misuse Act of 1990. Common speakers Sir Lindsey Hoyle dropped the news to MPs on Monday, saying police nabbed the ex-employee for what looks like unauthorized computer. It's access or tweaks. That act cracks down on hacking basics, like sneaking into systems without permission, or messing with data to enable crimes. People kept it tight, stressing this is straight police business inside Parliament's walls. MPs heard it at the start of session, but no one's spilling more beans yet. The speakers shut down follow-ups, calling it an active probe, no floor debates allowed. Police are still digging deep, with zero new details out. Hoyle promised updates only when ready, keeping Parliament's IT security front and center. This bus reminds us Westminster's not immune to digital threats, and the full story is just heating up. Stay tuned as it unfolds.
