The Sites Crime.NOT and Niklife Were Subjected to DDoS Attacks
On July 11, the sites of Mykolaiv online publications Crime.Not and Niklife, which are part of the information agency Ukrainian Media Group, were subjected to a large-scale DDoS attack. The chief editor of Crime.Not Anatoliy Chubachenko informed the representatives of IMI in the Mykolaiv region about this. «On the evening of July 11, a large-scale hacker attack was carried out on the site. Our site administrators, who help us maintain it, were able to repel it with the existing functionality. We connect it as one chain of events after the hacking of YouTube and my Facebook account, that these are the same people connected to the russian special services,» he said. Chubachenko considers the reason for the attack to be the professional activity of the editorial office in covering the true facts of the full-scale war that russia has unleashed against the Ukrainian people. «Towards the late evening, the site was restored, and currently both our sites – Crime.Not and NikLife – are working normally,» he said.
