Additional information:

Orda.kz was subjected to a massive DDoS attack, continuing since the evening of July 21. It is alleged that the editorial board has lost access to the website and email, making it unable to update content. Correspondents fear that «provocative information» may appear on the resource itself and on its social networks accounts. After the media published a post about the attack, it was contacted by law enforcement officers. According to them, they also recorded a DDoS attack on Orda.kz. The officers said they started checking what was going on and promised to «deal with the problem».
