Trailrunner7 writes "The nation of Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, found its access to the Internet severed by a massive denial of service attack, according to a report by Arbor Networks. The source or motivation of the attack isn't known, but it is believed that the distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks have targeted the country's Ministry of Post and Telecommunication (or PTT), the main conduit for Internet traffic in and out of the authoritarian nation.
A report on the Web page of the Myanmar Times dated November 1 notes widespread Internet outages dating as far back as October 25 that have disrupted the tourism trade in Myanmar. The PTT's servers have been hit by what Arbor estimates as 10 to 15 Gbps of traffic, shutting down Internet access to that ministry and most public and private sector organizations. Local papers of the governments, suffered a large, sustained DDoS attack disrupting most network traffic in and out of the country."
