Second APC / GreenNet DDoS Attack – It’s all about Zimbabwe
There has been a second attack on APC/GreenNet servers [1]. The attacks are reported to be linked to the Zimbabwe “elections” [2][3][4]. The previous attack left GreenNet/APC services unavailable or disrupted for 7 full days: GreenNet speculated that the size and scale of the attack made Government or Corporate involvement likely [lost link].
The current attack, in addition to technical changes made during the previous one, have allowed GreenNet to locate the specific site that is under attack – however, they have not yet got permission to announce the name of the site.
@DannyKushlick Good point. Yes you can. We have informed the relevant site owner, but don’t have permission to say who it is yet.
