A website experienced a crash due to an unusually high number of requests made to it within a short period. The technical issue, known as a denial-of-service (DoS) attack, caused the site to become unavailable to users.
The exact cause of the excessive requests is not yet clear, but experts speculate that it may be related to a targeted cyberattack or a significant increase in traffic due to various marketing campaigns.
To resolve the issue, the website’s administrators are working on increasing server capacity and implementing additional security measures to prevent similar attacks in the future.
