CÖF Organisation's Website Subject of DoS Attacks, Says Pro-Govt Group
The website of the pro-government Civic Union Forum (CÖF) and associated CÖKA foundation, currently organising a Peace March for the October 23 national holiday, came under denial-of-service (DoS) cyber-attacks in the past two days, the organisation said.

The attacks originated from several countries, attempting to thwart the organisation of the march which is expected to attract hundreds of thousands of people, the statement added.

Experts are working on resolving the problem and 15,000 volunteers are helping around the country with preparations for the march, it added.
