La Gran Aldea Suffers a DDoS Attack Between November 23 and 25, 2023
From shortly after noon on November 23 until the afternoon of November 25, 2023, La Gran Aldea suffered a DDoS attack involving automated requests targeting specific articles. The website slowed down, and two articles became inaccessible.
DDoS Attack Against the Venezuelan News Site La Gran Aldea (September 10–12, 2020)
The independent Venezuelan news site La Gran Aldea (lagranaldea.com) was hit by a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack that prevented readers from accessing the site organically starting at noon on Thursday, September 10, and continued through Saturday, September 12, 2020, leaving it virtually offline for nearly two days. According to the outlet’s technical team and its director, Alejandro Hernández, most of the requests originated from Venezuelan IP addresses, and the spam traffic peaked at 700 visits per minute. The outlet reported slow loading times and the inability to access two articles that were specifically targeted (one about Gustavo Perdomo, CEO of Globovisión, and another about Jorge Giménez Ochoa, president of the Venezuelan Soccer Federation). IPYS Venezuela condemned the attack. No specific perpetrator was publicly identified.
