Labour Party targeted in Large Cyber Attack

[gruffalo]

It seems that the Labour party has been targeted in a large cyber attack.

I wonder is this more from Russia or did they let Diane loose on a laptop?

This could get interesting with the report on Russian interference in the west not being published.

Why would Russia try and undermine the British Communist Party?

Mossad is far more likely...

Given who's involved it's a distinct possibility.

The claim is that all attempts failed due to robust systems. Sounds like their election prospects.

Where is it that the NCSC have said that?

[PorkInsider]

Which one of them fell for this?



Abbott?

Could have been any of them I suppose, to be fair.

From the many, not the few.

It was... nothing more than what you would expect to see on a regular basis. It looked like someone bored in their bedroom with a botnet.
