"Kommersant" is under attack?
From 15:00 the Internet site of the Kommersant publishing house does not work (including the website’s employees themselves). Just today, Kommersant published a transcript of the interrogation of its former owner, Boris Berezovsky , which the Russian prosecutor's office conducted in London. Moreover, the site presented a full version of the transcript (transcript of six audio cassettes).
In principle, these two things can and are not related to each other. In the end, Berezovsky did not say anything new: he accused the people of Vladimir Putin in the murder of dissident Alexander Litvinenko in London last year, but his statements were already known earlier. On the other hand, opposition sites are increasingly becoming victims of DoS attacks , which leads to certain thoughts.
Update . The site is trying to return to life, it works, it does not work. And at that moment when he was working, I noticed that the transcript of the interrogation had been removed. There is only a copy of the article from the paper version of the newspaper . It says that the full version of the interrogation is available on the website, but the hyper-link to this full version has disappeared (and it was - a copy of the same article from Yandex ).
Update-2 The text of the interrogation itself was here , and it seems that this link sometimes opens. It turns out that they only removed the link to it.
Update-3 At about eight o'clock, they returned the link to the transcript, but the site still works, then it does not. It looks like a DoS attack, because with a successful visit to the site, an ad appears asking you to wait five seconds (similar to what you did a year ago on compromat.ru after a series of DoS attacks).
Final update : The site is still in limbo, Kommersant has officially confirmed that they have been the victim of a DoS attack. And Habr was the first, they reported about it!
