A post on the portal’s Facebook page informed readers that both its servers had been affected.
“The Malaysiakini technical team has determined it to be a denial-of-service attack, where an attacker uses computers in different parts of the world to swarm Malaysiakini servers to the point that they are unable to cope with the massive traffic,” says the message.
As a result, the news portal said its stories will be available on its Facebook page at www.facebook.com/malaysiakini.
An alternative site has also been created at malaysiakinicom.wordpress.com with stories being updated in a blog format.
