Cyber Attack Isolates Burma From Global Networks
Thursday, November 04, 2010 | Comments: 0
By Siyabonga Ntshingila ;
The reclusive state of Burma, also known as Mynamar, has been cut off from
global networks after a massive cyber attack on its national systems.
The attack comes as the country builds up to elections on Sunday that have
been dismissed by pro-democracy advocates.
It is believed to have started late in October before escalating in the past
two days.
Some believe the attack is being orchestrated by the country’s ruling
military junta as a means of restricting the flow of information outside the
country.
The attack has taken the form of a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS)
which works by flooding a designated target with an overwhelming amount of
data.
