Official Website Under DDoS Attack
On March 28, for over an hour Shen Yun’s official website suffered a Distributed Denial of Service attack. For over an hour, between 12:13-1:25pm EST, some 10,000 distinct IPs from all over the world were manipulated to attack www.ShenYunPerformingArts.org using the DDoS technique. This is classified as a large-scale form of the cybercrime and significantly slowed down the site’s operations. By 1:25pm, the website’s firewall blocked all attacking IPs and the site returned to normal.
