As reported by The Guardian, hackers have carried out a “malicious” cyber attack on Telstra, creating connectivity issues for some home internet users.
Telstra reported the denial of service attack on its servers on Sunday which led to widespread internet outages in Australia’s eastern states.
A denial of service attack floods a network with traffic or information to trigger a crash, denying legitimate users access. Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane were the main outage hotspots. The telecommunications giant insisted customers’ personal data hadn’t been compromised and apologised for the outage.
