A large distributed denial of service attack (DDoS) attack is affecting numerous South African fibre and ADSL subscribers from Afrihost, Axxess, and Webafrica.
Liquid Telecom hit by DDoS attack
MyBroadband received information that Liquid Telecom is one of the targets of the DDoS attack which started at around 15:39 on Sunday.
Afrihost CEO Gian Visser explained that the DDoS attacks are destined to several networks advertised by Liquid Telecom and are not specific to its own network.

He explained that locally-hosted content like Netflix, Gmail, and YouTube should be working without problems.

“Internationally hosted game servers and other international resources will remain an issue until the attacks go away or are well mitigated,” he said.
