Former President Donald Trump will close out the Conservative Political Action Conference today with his first public address since leaving the White House on Jan. 20.
The former president is scheduled to take the stage at 3:40 p.m. Sunday.
But as Trump is getting ready to start his speech Ian Miles Cheong tweeted that CPAC’s website is being DDOS’d.
On CPAC’s Wikipedia page their official website is https://cpac.conservative.org/ which at the moment is not accessible.
Image below:
A distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack is a malicious attempt to disrupt the normal traffic of a targeted server, service or network by overwhelming the target or its surrounding infrastructure with a flood of Internet traffic.
DDoS attacks achieve effectiveness by utilizing multiple compromised computer systems as sources of attack traffic. Exploited machines can include computers and other networked resources such as IoT devices.
From a high level, a DDoS attack is like an unexpected traffic jam clogging up the highway, preventing regular traffic from arriving at its destination.
DDoS attacks are carried out with networks of Internet-connected machines.
These networks consist of computers and other devices (such as IoT devices)which have been infected with malware, allowing them to be controlled remotely by an attacker. These individual devices are referred to as bots (or zombies), and a group of bots is called a botnet.
Once a botnet has been established, the attacker is able to direct an attack by sending remote instructions to each bot.
People online reacted and even asked the FBI to get involved:
This news is still unconfirmed but we will update the story as soon as we have more news about this alleged attack.
P.S. Can I post the whole article because I don't know anyone from this site (USA Supreme)so I don't know if posting the whole article without permission could cause any trouble?
Yes, I spent a good amount of time of trying
to access cpac. Finally got through with
a link someone here posted.
Yeah, I’m watching NewsMax but these morons think that by killing the website they can stop us from watching the speech!
Typical leftist scum. Can’t have opposing viewpoints so they have to get shut down.
We’re watching on C-SPAN.
I’ve been trying to get to the website for about an hour and I can’t get it.
The live feed seems to still be working, but you have to know the URL: https://live.conservative.org/
Finally got thru using this link
https://live.conservative.org/
Prolly run by the fibbers and nasties.
This is the left’s moral sense, in a nutshell, use force, and deception to take control of people’s property, then use that stolen property to attack freedom/free speech. the dumbest part of all this is that they don’t even see how this could backfire on them.
Fox News is doing a good job!
Nope
Rush intro 1993
Is the Republican Party so short sighted as not to figure that these things will happen and continue to happen. They might read and know the constitution and quote it but they sure aren’t walking the talk when it comes to DOING something about this. Like being forward thinking enough to PREVENT this.
For some reason, demonrats and rinos are grossly, almost psychotically AFRAID of Trump and what he might say.
Trump must have mounds of dirt on each and every one of them.
Asking the FBI to get involved is like asking Homer Simpson to investigate a murder.
I just turned in on to America’s Real Voice via Bannon’s site:

I am not getting squat. I was getting Rush.
Do you think the corrupt fbi is going to investigate crimes committed by democrats?
I am not getting squat. I was getting Rush.
