Just Stop Oil Website Taken Offline in Cyber Attack
The Just Stop Oil website has been knocked offline following a suspected cyber attack. The eco-activist group’s site went down at around 4am on Thursday, causing a major outage.
DDoS Attack Suspected
Experts believe the site fell victim to a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack. This tactic floods a website with traffic, overwhelming servers and forcing the site offline.
Activists Silenced Online
The outage is a big blow for Just Stop Oil, who use their website to share updates and rally supporters. The group has been approached for comment but has yet to respond.
