Fastley, whose services are used by a number of companies to publish the content of their sites, said it had identified a problem that allegedly caused a massive decline in the sites of Western media, companies and government institutions.
Fastley said the problem had been identified and was being repaired.
The breakdown on the CDN service “Fastlija” allegedly caused the unavailability of the BBC, CNN, Guardian, Financial Times, New York Times, Independent, Spectator, Amazon, Reddit, Twitch, Githab, eBay, PayPal portals.
The website of the government of Great Britain gov.uk was taken down
It should be reminded that hacker attacks on large western companies have become more frequent lately. At the beginning of May, a cyber attack was carried out on the largest American company for the transfer of refined oil to the USA, “Colonial Pipeline”, which caused great problems throughout that country.
Colonial Pipeline paid hackers nearly five million dollars to regain access to its system. The US Department of Justice announced yesterday that it managed to recover $ 2.3 million in cryptocurrencies paid by the company “Colonial Pipeline”.
