Hackers mount ‘large-scale’ cyber attack on Labour Party systems
Hackers have mounted a “sophisticated and large scale cyber attack” on Labour’s digital platforms, the party has said.
A spokesperson said the incident had been reported to the National Cyber Security Centre but they were confident no data breach had occurred.
Some campaigning activities were temporarily slowed, but the systems were back up to speed by Tuesday morning.
“We have experienced a sophisticated and large scale cyber attack on Labour digital platforms,” the spokesperson said.
“We took swift action and these attempts failed due to our robust security systems. The integrity of all our platforms was maintained and we are confident that no data breach occurred.
“Our security procedures have slowed down some of our campaign activities, but these were restored this morning and we are back up to full speed.
“We have reported the matter to the National Cyber Security Centre.”

We know everyone is suffering under the Tories - but the Canary is a vital weapon in our fight back, and we need your support
The Canary Workers’ Co-op knows life is hard. The Tories are waging a class war against us we’re all having to fight. But like trade unions and community organising, truly independent working-class media is a vital weapon in our armoury.
The Canary doesn’t have the budget of the corporate media. In fact, our income is over 1,000 times less than the Guardian’s. What we do have is a radical agenda that disrupts power and amplifies marginalised communities. But we can only do this with our readers’ support.
So please, help us continue to spread messages of resistance and hope. Even the smallest donation would mean the world to us.
