This flood of traffic comes from multiple sources, often controlled by attackers using a botnet. The target's resources become overwhelmed, leading to slow response times or complete unavailability, causing disruption or denial of service to legitimate users trying to access the targeted system.A DDoS attack of such magnitude as happened in Kenya, needs a certain level of sophistication and resources. While not underestimating Sudan, there are all indications that his attack isn't just Sudan alone; it's Sudan and an ally, without naming names. Sudan aside, Kenya may be having a much more formidable foe, behind this. Why do I say this?:- Well, there were some innocuous, but critical details in one of the posted warnings. This warning, sent by the hackers post factum, promises further imminent attacks. And, right there, at the bottom right-hand corner) was the vital clue, the name of the attackers' "reserve channel" ,which personally, convinced me that it was a coordinated attack, or even a joint, or outsourced hired attack.
The "piquant and perilous beauty" of the situation Ruto has single-handedly put Kenya in, is that he has unknowingly rubbed so many countries and their leaders the wrong way with his incessant careless pronouncements. It would seem that Ruto speaks and acts before he thinks, and especially on very sensitive controversial international issues. While that can slide here at home sometimes, the case with outside countries and groups is different. They don't see him as many perceive him to be here locally, and therefore, have learnt to ignore. They see him as the Head of a very decent state (Kenya), making clear policy statements, not just expressing sick personal views, and they take him at his word. And this has implied pernicious consequences.
