Kherson media outlet MOST has been under a DDoS attack for two days in a row.

This was reported to IMI by MOST's editor-in-chief, Serhiy Nikitenko.

"Yesterday and the day before yesterday in the morning, the attack was particluarly powerful, our website was unavailable for several hours. Even now, the load on the server is abnormally high, but the website is working," he said.

The editors assume that the attack may be related to a series of publications about Kherson oblast officials, as earlier they had received an offer to take these reports down for money.

Also, the media outlet does not rule out that Russians might be behind the attack, because multiple government websites in Odesa oblast were down this morning, and, according to anonymous Russian hackers, some of the websites had propaganda content posted on them.
