A party spokeswoman said the cyber attack "failed" because of their "robust security systems" and that she was confident no data breach occurred.

Mrs and I went over to Belfast for a city break last summer ... right after the glorious 12th. We rocked up at Cairnryan ferry terminal just as all the coaches were coming off the ferry to take the pilgrims back to Glasgow.

There were .... flags. Lots of flags.

Yup, hence attempted.

If it was DDoS then one would assume the party had invested in something such as Akamai (or the AWS/GCP equivalent.) which would explain the non effectiveness.

There a lot of very rich powerful people/ countries both here and abroad who will do anything to maintain the current Govt. Same interference during Brexit, but the Tories have suppressed the report on it.

Give these guys a majority and it's goodbye NHS, sold to Trump, the break up of the UK increasing regional divisions, more dead end no contract jobs, and the wealth gap will continue to spiral, and the climate crisis ignored.

People need to sit back and think about that, whatever their views on Brexit. A hung parliament would be a result, you don't want to give anybody carte blanche at the moment, none up them are up to the job.

So if there is something incriminating on the Labour systems, we shouldn't know about it? After all they think it's ok(it was admitted) to warn a Labour mate that the Police are about to do a raid on their computer, looking for dodgy pictures.


Occasionally I, along with the rest of us get phishing, etc,attempts.

WTAF?

It was a DDOS attack, not a Pen Test - you need to take off the foil hat, buddy... :dozey:

You seem to be stating that it's OK to commit a criminal act to check if someone has a suspicion something dodgy might be going on?

Absolute nonsense - Tories have already stated the NHS is not up for sale, the US is not interested either, stop spinning Labour/Momentum and Illiberal Undemocrat propaganda rubbish. :rolleyes:

And of course, politicians never lie do they.... In fact I'm sure you stated a while ago that lying was part of a politicians remit and that they all did it. (or words to that effect)

And I do not have any issue with saying that at all.

That said - Repeat after me, the NHS is not up for sale, will never be in the hands of the U.S, ever, period. If you believe the crap coming out from Labour and Lib Dems, who certainly cannot be trusted on the truth then more fool you!:rolleyes:

Since US companies already have access into the NHS (on the provision that they have a location in the EU, at which point they are as free to bid for contracts as anyone else)

I don't think it's unreasonable to be on guard against access to the NHS being used as leverage in future trade deals.

It's certainly not unreasonable to be aware of the lies that ALL the political parties are prepared to tell. or the U turns they're prepared to make.

I'm going to bookmark your response above, and if you're right send you a bottle of whatever you wish :) If you're wrong however.... then... well... we're in a whole different world.

Seems like universities are catching heat for fulfilling their legal obligation to encourage students to register to vote - https://www.theguardian.com/educatio...-students-vote

What a toxic campaign this is...
