The protest against the arrest of Telegram Founder and CEO Pavel Durov by officials in France is taking a new twist as the government’s websites are now under attack. With more than 24 hours in custody, the government faces serious reprisals from different ends.
Solidarity For Telegram CEO: France Govt Websites Down
It is quite uncommon for a foreign government to face a heavy attack. Le Parisien reported that at least two websites have been powered down. These websites include the official government site that archives current laws and regulations. Additionally, the platform of the National Agency for the Safety of Medicines and Health Products (ANSM) was also down due to DDoS attacks.
As reported earlier, Pavel Durov now faces about 12 different charges and his incarceration may extend to 96 hours.
