DDoS campaign degrades access to Meduza's website

Beginning on 15 April 2024, Meduza's website faced an application-layer distributed denial-of-service campaign lasting 48 consecutive hours, followed by another shorter attack. The traffic surge impaired access for readers, with some users unable to load the site. Meduza suspected a politically motivated source but reported no evidence sufficient to identify the attacker.
