The Bangkok Post has implemented temporary country-based access restrictions on its Facebook page in response to a coordinated cyberattack believed to originate from Cambodia.
The Post’s Facebook page was targeted by what appeared to be an information operation (IO), with inappropriate images and messages flooding the comments section.
Over the course of two days, the Bangkok Post’s website and Facebook platform were hit by a series of distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, causing periodic disruptions and rendering certain pages inaccessible. In total, the attacks exceeded 250 million requests, overwhelming the system at multiple points.
In response, the Post has applied country restriction settings on Facebook to limit access from Cambodian IP addresses. The measure has proven partially effective, significantly reducing the volume of malicious activity, though some content continues to bypass the filter.
The Bangkok Post is closely monitoring the situation and will take further steps as necessary to safeguard the integrity of its platforms and ensure user safety.
@vy_sophally@armypr_news@oueiija I'm not sure if you've seen satellite images of the border area from April-July or satellite images of the heat-generating activity from your random deployments before you make up your mind. If you still trust your data, your problem is probably DNA.
