"Royal Family Website Downed by DDoS Attack"

The official website of the UK’s royal family on Sunday was taken offline by a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack.  According to reports, the Royal.uk site was unavailable for around 90 minutes, starting at 10 am local time.  It was fully functional again soon after.  Notorious Russian hacktivist group Killnet has reportedly boasted on its Telegram channel of being responsible for the attack, although that has yet to be confirmed.  DDoS attacks have become a favorite tool of Russian hacktivists as they look to punish Ukraine’s allies and score geopolitical points.
