Websites of the Florida Center for Government Accountability and the Florida Trident were hit by what was described as a “massive and sophisticated” cyber attack Sunday.
Barbara A. Petersen, CEO and publisher of the center and the Trident, said the denial-of-service attack on the flcga.org and floridatrident.org websites were discovered early on and caused only minor disruptions.
She said that at one point, there were over 350,000 attempted contacts per minute. The center’s web contractor and web security people were able to protect the sites and deflect the ongoing attack.
