The "full functionality" of Labour's online campaign systems was "reduced" as a result, the party said. Officials have reported the attack to the National Cyber Security Centre. A security expert said this kind of attack involved "bombarding websites or digital services with large numbers of traffic until they collapse". Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn said this afternoon that he is “very nervous” following the attack. He told reporters: “It was a very serious attack against us, as far as we’re aware none of our information was downloaded.” And he added: “If this is a sign of things to come in this election, I feel very nervous about it all because a cyber attack in a general election is very suspicious.” He said an attack against the NHS in 2017 had been “incredibly dangerous”.

"We have experienced a sophisticated and large scale cyber attack on Labour digital platforms," a party spokeswoman 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." A security official with knowledge of the attack told Reuters that it was not particularly sophisticated. The insider stated: "It was really very everyday, nothing more than what you would expect to see on a regular basis." A National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) spokesman said in a statement: "The NCSC has worked closely with political parties for several years on how to protect and defend aga
