They would ask for people. I gave them some numbers, not all of them. I told him to stop. He\u2019s manipulated me and now I\u2019ve hurt other people.\u201d<br \/>\nNews outlet Politico said 12 men including a serving government minister were known to have been targeted in the suspected operation, receiving flirtatious messages and pictures from people who called themselves Abi or Charlie.<br \/>\nNeither the Times or Politico said who was believed to be responsible for the messaging campaign.<br \/>\nPolice in central England said they were investigating a report of malicious communications.<br \/>\nFinance minister Jeremy Hunt said: \u201cThe events of the last few days have been a great cause for concern.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cThe lesson here for all MPs (Members of Parliament) is that they need to be very careful about cybersecurity\u201d<br \/>\nA spokesperson for parliament said they were working to understand the messages, which have heightened concerns that lawmakers could be vulnerable to cyberattacks and bribery.<br \/>\n\u201cParliament takes security extremely seriously and works closely with government in response to such incidents,\u201d the spokesperson said. \u201cWe are encouraging anyone affected who has concerns to contact the Parliamentary Security Department.\u201d<br \/>\nWragg has been a lawmaker for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak\u2019s Conservative Party since 2015 and is the chairman of a cross-party parliamentary committee that oversees constitutional issues and standards.
