[Alert] Kodao.org under intense cyber attack again

Kodao’s website www.kodao.org is again under intense cyber attack. Tens of millions of suspicious requests are flooding the site in yet another distributed denial of service attack similar to what it suffered in 2019.

Kodao reported the attack started last Friday, June 11, 2021 and intensified after Kodao’s coverage of the Independence Day protest events at the Chinese Consulate and Israeli Embassy last Saturday, June 12.

“Our web administrators have ensured that Kodao’s files are intact. The site will be up again soon. Meanwhile, we urge our readers and viewers to keep on following us on our social media platforms,” said Kodao.
