London Port Authority website offline due to DDoS attack

Summary:

In May 2022, the London Port Authority website knocked down by a DDoS attack in Tilbury, London. The attack, thought to have been carried out by the Altahrea Team hacking gang, appears to be politically motivated, according to security researchers. These ‘loud’ attacks seem to be politically motivated, aimed at making noise rather than damage, clarify the researchers, hence why they use DDoS as a method, which is simple but very disruptive and visible.
