DDoS reportado contra La Gran Aldea

What this source supports

• the official victim account said the portal was suffering attacks
• the team was working so the website could continue operating normally

Evidence limits

First-party confirmation of the reported attack and mitigation work, but the post does not identify DDoS mechanics, duration or actor.

Relevance to this case

Strongest official victim statement for occurrence and disclosure date.

What this source supports

• IPYS described the event as DDoS
• IPYS said it had begun shortly after noon on 23 November

Evidence limits

Contemporary institutional report without published technical telemetry; it is not independent forensic confirmation.

Relevance to this case

Earliest exact public source for the DDoS label and reported start window.

What this source supports

• La Gran Aldea publicly reported that its portal was under attack on 23 November
• director Alejandro Hernández told Espacio Público that millions of bot queries had arrived since noon
• the source describes the reported mechanism as DDoS

Evidence limits

Contemporary direct interview but no public telemetry. The article’s generic statement linking Venezuelan DDoS activity to the State is not incident-specific attribution and is excluded.

Relevance to this case

Strong contemporary institutional report and victim-director interview for occurrence and mechanism as reported.

What this source supports

• TalCual reports the SNTP and Espacio Público DDoS characterization
• the article reproduces the director statement about millions of bot queries since noon
• the victim linked the attack to two named investigations

Evidence limits

Largely dependent on SNTP, Espacio Público and victim statements. The claimed connection to two investigations is not independently established; generic State linkage is excluded.

Relevance to this case

Useful contemporaneous bridge to the victim follow-up and direct interview lineage.

What this source supports

• the official victim account identified two articles it believed had triggered the attacks

Evidence limits

First-party motive assertion without evidence establishing causality or attacker identity.

Relevance to this case

Direct provenance for the victim’s claimed motive; not technical or attribution proof.

What this source supports

• IPYS reports a DDoS from shortly after noon on 23 November until the afternoon of 25 November
• director Alejandro Hernández described automated requests targeting specific publications
• the portal slowed and two articles became inaccessible
• the team activated a Cloudflare shield

Evidence limits

Later victim-side/institutional reporting with no published server logs, traffic metrics or independent uptime measurement. The 23–25 November window is reported, not a measured continuous outage.

Relevance to this case

Detailed source for the reported window, targeted requests, degradation and mitigation, but not an official victim publication or forensic confirmation.
