MEO was the target of a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack that caused instability and problems with Internet access for its customers. The operator confirmed that the attack caused congestion and degradation of its services.
This type of attack consists of overloading a company's servers with a massive volume of traffic from multiple sources, making it impossible to provide normal services to legitimate users.
The attack affected the quality of Internet connection for MEO customers during the period it lasted. The company eventually managed to restore the normal functioning of its services after mitigating the effects of the attack.
This incident is part of a growing trend of cyberattacks against critical infrastructure and telecommunications companies worldwide, a problem that has been increasingly concerning authorities and operators in the sector.
