The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) has warned of an internet traffic flood that may occur on Wednesday, November 5.
In a social media post, the agency said it will closely monitor possible Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) or traffic flood incidents that may cause some websites to load slowly or possibly become inaccessible.
The DICT advised users to ‘try again later’ if affected sites fail to load.
Under ‘Oplan Cyberdome,’ the DICT said it continues to coordinate with the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center, National Telecommunications Commission, law enforcement agencies, and other partners to ensure an immediate response and protection of online platforms.
The agency stressed that the DDoS is not a data breach.
