British Labor Party servers were targeted by DDOs attack

Britain’s Labor Party faced a DDO attack on Monday. The party’s online services were delayed for a while and in some cases offline. Guardian government sources suspect no state hackers were behind the attack.

The Guardian writes that it concerned the online campaign and election tools that the party is using in the run-up to the parliamentary elections on Thursday, December 12. They were said to have been attacked ‘for a very short period of time’. The impact of the attack was great enough for the party to send a message to its campaigners, informing them of why the services were slower or offline.

Labor has also notified the National Cyber ​​Security Center. The party further emphasizes that voter data has not been stolen by the perpetrators. Labor uses Cloudflares content delivery network and ddos ​​protection. Party leader Jeremy Corbyn described the attack as “very serious” and said he would be “nervous” if it was the start of more such attacks, the BBC writes.

Possibly politically motivated DDoS attacks are not new. Earlier this year, for example, Ecuador reportedly faced DDOs attacks since that country suspended Julian Assange’s asylum. However, means to carry out a ddos ​​attack are relatively cheap, allowing a ddos ​​attack to be carried out not only by state hackers, but also by a rowdy teenager.
