DDoS reportado contra La Gran Aldea

What this source supports

• La Gran Aldea stated that its portal was receiving a DDoS attack
• the victim stated that access to the page was limited and that its team was working to overcome the situation

Evidence limits

High confidence that the victim publicly reported an ongoing DDoS and limited access. The post contains no start time, end time, request count, IP geography, logs or actor attribution.

Relevance to this case

Strongest first-party evidence for occurrence and availability impact.

What this source supports

• The exact IPYS alert title identifies a DDoS against La Gran Aldea that impeded organic reader access
• Voces Confinadas: Informe 2.0 cites this exact IPYS URL for its report that most requests came from Venezuelan IP addresses at an average of about 700 visits per minute
• the currently visible challenge page does not expose the article body, source media or underlying telemetry

Evidence limits

The live body and its media are not presently observable because of Cloudflare. Later reporting preserves the claims but does not provide raw request logs, an exact recovery timestamp or independent telemetry.

Relevance to this case

Target-specific institutional alert and source cited for the traffic-origin/rate details, retained with medium confidence because its live body is unavailable.

What this source supports

• Contemporaneously reports La Gran Aldea saying on 11 September that its portal was under DDoS attack and access was limited
• quotes the exact first-party X statement and says the outlet was working to restore normal access
• does not report Venezuelan IP origin, approximately 700 requests per minute or a two-day duration

Evidence limits

Contemporaneous but derivative of the victim post; no independent technical observations or traffic metrics are published.

Relevance to this case

Live contemporaneous corroboration and an accurate republication of the exact first-party statement.

What this source supports

• Quotes La Gran Aldea reporting the DDoS and limited access on 11 September
• states that the portal returned online a short time later

Evidence limits

Derivative of the victim post and provides no telemetry. Its short-recovery wording conflicts with later reports of approximately two days of impairment.

Relevance to this case

Contemporaneous target-specific corroboration and an explicit, though imprecise, recovery statement.

What this source supports

• A retrospective final paragraph reports that La Gran Aldea registered a DDoS attack on 10 September 2020
• the retrospective paragraph reports up to 700 spam visits per minute, collapse of the server and almost two days offline
• the article primarily documents a separate October legal/DMCA takedown and its headline and more-than-40-hour figure do not describe the September DDoS

Evidence limits

The September evidence is one retrospective paragraph in an article principally about a distinct October legal/DMCA takedown. The paragraph does not publish server logs or independent traffic telemetry.

Relevance to this case

Useful later corroboration for the reported September duration and traffic rate only; the headline, main body and three embedded X posts belong to the separate October episode.

What this source supports

• Reports that La Gran Aldea disclosed a DDoS beginning 10 September and that access was impeded for two days
• reports that most requests came from Venezuelan IP addresses at an average of approximately 700 visits per minute
• footnotes show that occurrence derives from the exact victim X post and traffic details derive from the IPYS alert

Evidence limits

Useful synthesis, but derivative of the victim post and IPYS alert and does not publish raw server/provider telemetry. Its two-day account conflicts with Espacio Público saying the portal returned shortly afterward.

Relevance to this case

Preserves the most specific report of duration, IP geography and request rate with explicit source footnotes.

What this source supports

• Reports that La Gran Aldea was targeted by a DDoS attack in September 2020
• its footnote quotes and links the exact 11 September first-party X statement

Evidence limits

Strong independent publisher but derivative of the victim post for this event; it does not validate traffic metrics, duration, operator or attribution.

Relevance to this case

Independent later corroboration that a September DDoS was publicly reported.
