DDoS attacks on TamilNet foiled
[TamilNet, Saturday, 29 September 2012, 22:47 GMT]Following persistent Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks on TamilNet in late February that coincided with the UN Human Rights Council sessions in Geneva, the site was again intensively attacked this week by sources originating from various countries. Most of the attacks on 26 September originated from India, Malaysia, Israel and Germany. The attacks have also come from Thailand, Georgia, Brazil and Pakistan. This time, the cyber attacks on TamilNet coincided with its exclusive coverage exposing resettlement farce in Vanni, while Colombo and its abettors in the International Community of Establishments and in the international organisations, were projecting the closure of the IDP camp in Vavuniyaa as marking the successful completion of resettlement, ostensibly for the bailout of Colombo and continuation of the deceptive LLRC roadmap.
Attack details 26th September
Despite the site being subject to DDoS attacks, TamilNet was able to sustain the service without interruptions.
TamilNet is thankful for the support it has received from its readers to sustain its services and seeks further support from the readers to expand its coverage.
Established in June 1995 as an electronic mailing list, TamilNet emerged into a newswire service with dedicated reporters, special correspondents and feature writers since it launched its web based newswire service on 07 June 1997.
It now completes 15 years of service as an independent and not-for-profit newswire.
Sri Lanka is blocking the site inside the island since June 2007.
