On Tuesday hackers again tried to paralyze a new platform of the German Ministry of Development Cooperation for participation in the reconstruction in Ukraine. A ministry spokeswoman confirmed a corresponding “mirror report” upon request.
The platform has been attacked repeatedly since its launch early last week, she said. Shortly after the start there was a peak and again on Tuesday.
DDoS attack successfully repelled
The “Mirror” reported on “pro-Russian cyber-attacks” in which servers are flooded with an artificially generated mass of calls until they collapse under the load. Such attacks are called DDoS attacks in IT security jargon. “The attacks are still successfully repelled,” said the spokeswoman for the dpa ministry.
The platform, including a central website, is intended as a point of contact for anyone who wants to be involved in the reconstruction. It is intended to allow aid organizations, companies and initiatives to network.
