2013 DDoS Attack

Beginning at 10.15 BST on Thursday 1 August 2013 GreenNet and APC suffered an extensive DDoS attack. The attack was later described as a "DNS reflection attack" also known as a spoofed attack[1] Several sources initially suspected the attack was linked to the Zimbabwean Elections, held a day earlier.[2][3][4] GreenNet's services were not fully operational again until 10.30 BST on Thursday 7 August.[5] On the 9th of August there was a second attack, which, while affecting some systems, allowed GreenNet to discover the site which was being targeted.[6] In October 2013, the target was revealed to be the site of investigative reporter Andrew Jennings.[7]
