Officials warn that Britons using certain online services face risks due to the harvesting of their personal data.

The officials state that data collected from Russia-based temporary phone number sites could be used by Moscow to escalate its 'grey zone' war against Britain and its allies through cyber attacks and digital economy disruption.
