An attack was waged over the weekend on a number of online gambling-themed news sites and service providers.
GamePolitics reports that Poker News is among the prominent digital publications to be taken offline as a result of a DDOS attack.
But we’re also told that Betfair and PokerStars found themselves in the same boat.
“We’re currently experiencing a DDOS attack on our site,” Betfair tweeted Monday. “We’re working to fix this as quickly as possible.”
Although we’ve been hearing reports about other sites facing an attack, official confirmations have not yet come.
“On April 12 PokerStar’s Belgium twitter account only noted that it was having connectivity issues. Those issues seem to be gone as of this writing, but they plagued the service for most of the weekend,” GamePolitics reports.
