Biggest attack on RT.com: Website hit by 10 Gbps DDoS
RT.com has been hit with the most powerful DDoS attack in the website's history, which reached 10 Gbps in strength. No group has claimed responsibility. RT has experienced cyber assaults in the past, prompted by its reporting on Manning and WikiLeaks.

The Wednesday attack was successfully deflected, but resulted in a temporary slowdown of the site.

“Thanks to the website’s reliable technical protection, RT.com was unavailable just for a few minutes, even though the DDoS attack has continued,” RT’s press service said in a statement.

The attack was identified as a UDP-flood type, and reached 10 gigabits per second.
