Russian embassy in London website hacked. It was DDOs attack on the website which was accepted by embassy in a statement.
“Prior to the visit of Prime Minister David Cameron to Russia, the website of the Russian Embassy in London (www.rusemb.org.uk) was brought down by a suspected DDoS (distributed denial of service) attack,” the embassy said in a statement.
This hacking attack just before Prime Minister David Cameron begins the first visit by a British leader to Moscow since the 2006 killing in London of a Kremlin critic.
A Russian embassy spokesman said problems with the website began on Friday night. The site was accessible for some time on Saturday but was down again on Sunday, he said.
The embassy said it had set up a “mirror” website (www.rusemborguk.ru) to meet the increased interest of the public and media for information before Cameron flies to Russia on Sunday.
