UNIAN reports intense DoS attack on their website

The website of the news agency UNIAN has suffered an intense DoS attack that lasted for about an hour, reports the editorial team.

The resource was temporarily unavailable to users. The outlet's engineers worked to resolve the problem. As of now, the website has been restored.

In the comment to Institute of Mass Information representative Valentyna Troyan, the UNIAN chief editor Mykhailo Hannytskyi said that the cause of the cyber attack was still unclear.

He also noted that the editors could say if Russian hackers were involved in the attack.

Earlier, in September 2024, the website of investigative journalism agency "Slidstvo.Info" suffered a DDoS attack after releasing an investigation into the high-end property owned by the Minister of Agrarian Policy, Vitaliy Koval.
