This story seems to have gone cold. The latest update I could find was on the 21 May. Is it being investigated?

It hasn't gone completely cold- much as Farage would want it to. It's being investigated.

As a result of not wanting to be questioned about it and trying to keep it out of the press- Farage is avoiding the press- not calling conferences as he usually so enjoys and avoiding going to Westminster. Instead he recorded a video, seemingly standing in a field this morning, in order to avoid questions.

The Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards is currently investigating it after the matter was referred to them by the Conservative Party

Labour have also reported the alleged hacking of Farage's phone and his bank accounts by Russia to the Metropolitan Police and the security services.

No wonder he's in hiding from the press and the HoC.
