Breaking: As Trump Is Getting Ready To Give His Speech, CPAC's Website Is Allegedly Being DDOS'd
USA Supreme ^ | 02.28.2021 | George Rowe

Posted on 02/28/2021 12:21:36 PM PST by USA Conservative

​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.

That was it. They were spending a few minutes on rush.

CSPAN has the same stream.

No c-span, but getting it on America’s Voice. Starting to get glitchy, though.

100 million users connecting enmasse can appear to be a DDOS.

They probably got surprised by the volume.
