Ukrinform reports overnight hack

On August 14, Ukrinform repelled a hacker attack on their website, the media outlet reported on Telegram.

Ukrinform technicians say that the attack on the website began at 10:40 p.m. on August 14, and the load on the web server peaked at 10:47 p.m., which resulted in some visitors having problems accessing the website.

"In this period, the website received about 200 million incoming traffic packets, over 200,000 requests per second," Ukrinform noted.

By 10:52 p.m., the technicians managed to repel the attack, blocking the hostile requests, and the resource went back to normal.

In May 2024, the National Council for Television and Radio Broadcasting called on the media to promptly share evidence of interference in their work with them, as this will contribute to the international investigation involving the International Telecommunication Union and will help improve the security of satellite communications on international level.
