Suspicious package found near London HQ of Cambridge Analytica

None

LONDON - British police said a suspicious package had been found near the London headquarters of Cambridge Analytica on Thursday, prompting police to close nearby roads and evacuate the building.

 

"The building has been evacuated as a precaution," police said. "No injuries have been reported."

 

The London-based political consultancy has been at the centre of a storm this week after a whistleblower said the company had paid an academic to harvest the data of 50 million Facebook users to build profiles of American voters before the 2016 US election.
