<p>The Labour leader said the timing of the attack – which slowed some of the party’s campaign activities – was “suspicious” and had made him “nervous” about what might happen in the rest of the campaign.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>The so-called “distributed denial-of-service” (DDoS) attack, which took place on Monday, was described by the party as “sophisticated and large-scale”.</p>
<p>However, a source at the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), which is investigating the incident, said it was relatively “low level” with no evidence of “state-sponsored activity”.</p>
<p>In a DDoS attack, hackers flood a target’s online platforms with traffic from various sources, with the aim of slowing down access or causing websites to crash.</p>
<blockquote><p>If this is a sign of things to come in this election, I feel very nervous about it all</p></blockquote>
<p><!--Ads2--></p>
<p>Labour said the attack had failed due to the “robust security systems” it had put in place and that it was confident there had not been any data breach.</p>
<p>While its security procedures had led to a temporary slowdown in it its campaigning activities, they were later back up to “full speed”.Vge</p>
<p>However, speaking at a Labour campaign event in Blackpool, Mr Corbyn expressed concern about the implications for the rest of the election campaign.</p>
<p>“We have a system in place in our office to protect us against these cyber attacks, but it was a very serious attack against us,” he said.</p>
<p>“So far as we’re aware, none of our information was downloaded and the attack was actually repulsed because we have an effective in-house developed system by people within our party.</p>

<p>“But if this is a sign of things to come in this election, I feel very nervous about it all because a cyber attack against a political party in an election is suspicious, something one is very worried about.”</p>
