South African Internet providers crippled by massive DDoS attacks

Internet service providers in South Africa fell prey to massive distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks this past weekend.

RSAWEB subscribers were among the first to feel it, with the company issuing a notice at 01:56 on Friday morning stating that it was under attack.

“Liquid Telecommunications can confirm that during the course of [Saturday] night an attack was initiated against one of our South African clients,” a spokesperson for the company said.

“This attack was similar in size and scale to previous attacks reported on. The attack was mitigated within minutes of being seen and the network has been stable without incident since the mitigation was performed.”

The same Liquid Telecom that stated our line was down when their own equipment in Teraco was down due to power maintenance.

Would not trust or believe them to tell me the color of their own shoelaces.
