HTTP DDoS reportado contra El Diario con duración y volumen discrepantes

What this source supports

• El Diario reported that eldiario.com was unavailable for approximately three hours on 26 July 2020 after what it described as an HTTP DDoS attack
• the victim reported 18.23 million homepage requests in under one hour and approximately 500,000 from one IP
• the victim associated request IP addresses with Russia, China and Nigeria
• the public report does not identify the operator or publish independent server or provider telemetry

Evidence limits

High confidence in the victim's public report and approximately three-hour outage. No public provider logs, raw traffic export or independent telemetry verifies the request counts, source-IP geolocation or DDoS classification; IP countries are not actor attribution.

Relevance to this case

Primary first-party account and strongest source for the event, timing, availability impact and reported traffic metrics.

What this source supports

• Contemporaneously reports El Diario's statement that it received 18.23 million requests and approximately 500,000 from one IP
• reports that El Diario associated request IPs with Russia, China and Nigeria
• reports that WordPress Engine's technical team restored the site

Evidence limits

Contemporaneous and target-specific, but derivative of El Diario's own report and not independent technical validation.

Relevance to this case

Corroborates public circulation and reports restoration by the hosting provider's technical team.
