 KARACHI: The websites of Pakistan’s leading channel Geo News and newspaper ‘The News’ Wednesday survived a serious DDos attack while efforts are still on to neutralize the threat.
The dedicated IT team of Jang Group of Companies once again frustrated the saboteurs who tried to slow down websites www.geo.tv and www.thenews.com.pk by repeatedly sending multiple opening requests using thousands of computers. This attack is called Distributed
Denial-of-Service (DDOS).
The websites of Geo and The News faced similar attack in former president Pervez Musharraf’s regime when he declared emergency in the country and banned Geo News.
People have been turning to the websites of Geo News, The News and Jang for latest updates after the blocking of Geo News transmission on cable across Sindh province including Karachi. |
