Cambridge Analytica's London offices raided by investigators

CNET -Officers for the UK's information commissioner searched the London offices of data consultancy firm Cambridge Analytica on Friday after a high court judge finally issued a warrant for the search, according to the BBC.

UK Information Commissioner Elizabeth Denham first demanded access to Cambridge Analytica's records and data on March 7. When the company didn't respond by her deadline, she requested a warrant, Denham said in a statement Monday. The Information Commissioner's Office, which is the UK's data protection watchdog, wants access to records as part of an investigation it opened last May into the use of data analysis for political purposes.
