Additional information:

Due to the ongoing attacks since July 24, the Orda.kz website had to temporarily suspend its activities. «Since Thursday 6 PM, there has been a non-stop DDoS attack on the Orda.kz website, corporate mail, and all of our social networks pages, on a scale comparable to, say, an attack on Pearl Harbor. Specialists are surprised and say that it must have already cost the customer several hundred thousand dollars. We are doing our best to fight back, get up, and then fall down again. The website’s admin panel is not working and there has been no update so far», — said Gulnar Bazhkenova, the founder and editor-in-chief of Orda.kz. Journalists publish materials on the media’s social media pages. The website was able to resume its work only on August 15.
