The Institute for Reporters Freedom and Safety (IRFS) issued a statement condemning the cyber attacks on the newspaper Azadlig website. IRFS believes that as the presidential election approaches, the pressure on freedom of expression is enhanced.
Authors of the statement authors point out hackers are using the following methods of attack: Layer 7, UDP, SYN flooding, and DNS reflection.
The newspaper Azadlig addressed the cyber attacks to the Ministry of National Security, but the ministry has not taken any definite action. IRFS calls on the authorities to investigate cases of cyber attacks on critical media sites and to take action against those responsible for these attacks.
