GiveSendGo DDoS campaign impairs crowdfunding platform

During the 5 February 2022 surge of donations to a Canadian trucker-related fundraiser, GiveSendGo reported an intensive DDoS/bot traffic campaign against its servers. The activity caused accessibility and responsiveness problems for the crowdfunding service, although fundraising continued; a separate later February intrusion is not combined with this DDoS event.
