“The crash of the UK voter registration website before the 2016 EU referendum deadline was a cyberattack”
Granskad September 22, 2026
Bedömning
False. The collapse hours before the June 2016 deadline was caused by exceptional demand, not an attack. Parliament legislated to extend the deadline in response.
