HSBC has come under a cyber attack - but said customers' details have not been compromised.

The bank said its personal banking website was affected by a "denial of service attack", which it has successfully defended itself against.

A spokesman for HSBC said: "HSBC internet banking came under a denial of service attack this morning, which affected personal banking websites in the UK.

"HSBC has successfully defended against the attack, and customer transactions were not affected.

"We are working hard to restore services, and normal service is now being resumed.

"We apologise for any inconvenience this incident may have caused."
