(VOVworld)-A website which allowed Britons to register to vote in last year's Brexit referendum might have been targeted by foreign hackers causing it to crash before the deadline, a committee of British lawmakers said on Wednesday.

In a report, parliament's Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee said it did not rule out the possibility that the crash was caused by a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) cyber attack. The report said that the Commitee is deeply concerned about allegations about foreign interference but it did not believe any interference had impacted the outcome. Last June, nearly 52% of Britons voted for the UK’s departure from the EU.
