LONDON: Hackers attacked the British news website BBC and brought down all its BBC’s websites for several hours on Thursday, TheNewsTribe.com learnt from DawnNews.

“Sources within the BBC said the sites were offline thanks to what is known as a ‘distributed denial of service’ (DDOS) attack,” the BBC reported.

Users trying to access BBC.com and related websites could only see an error message saying: “The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy.”

The BBC press office claimed the problem on a “technical issue”.“We’re aware of a technical issue affecting the BBC website and are working to fix this now,” it said in a statement.

Despite continued problems with access to the sites, it said in a later update: “The BBC website is now back up and operating normally.”
