Anna Turley, Labour’s chairwoman, urged the Clacton MP to publicly confirm if he reported the suspected cyber-attack to the police or the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC). A spokesperson for Reform UK stated that the incident has been reported to the relevant authorities, but declined further comment due to ongoing investigations. Farage received £5 million from Thailand-based crypto-entrepreneur Christopher Harborne in 2024, which he previously claimed was for non-political purposes and later as a 'reward for campaigning for Brexit'.
