The Federal Communications Commission intends to keep secret more than 200 pages of documents related to an alleged cyberattack that the agency says impaired its systems two months ago.
Those attacks, Bray said, were “deliberate attempts by external actors to bombard the FCC’s comment system with a high amount of traffic to our commercial cloud host.”.
The few emails by FCC staff that were actually released to Gizmodo are entirely redacted.
The agency cited a variety of reasons for why it was refusing to release 209 documents related to the purported DDoS attack.
“It’s not some kind of ‘onerous regulation on industry’ — it is simply about protecting everyone’s freedom to communicate in the modern world.”.
The FCC’s website crashed after a surge in traffic that occurred shortly after an HBO segment in which comedian John Oliver blasted FCC Chairman Ajit Pai.
The agency has received more than 9 million comments from the public on the topic of net neutrality, according to USA Today. »
