"Last Thursday, my IPSA-provided website was compromised. Malicious links were inserted, redirecting users to South East Asian gambling websites. I guess it could be worse. We took it down immediately."
"In just 24 hours, the site was hit with 142 million requests, consuming nearly 800GB of data. This is not a minor nuisance, it's a direct interference with a Member of Parliament carrying out his duties."
"I do not think it would be appropriate to discuss the details publicly about preventative action and how members are supported to protect themselves against these kinds of cyber threats."
Sir David Davis reported a cyber attack on his website, which was overwhelmed by 142 million requests, consuming nearly 800 gigabytes of data. The attack began on Thursday and involved malicious links redirecting users to gambling sites in Southeast Asia. Davis emphasized the severity of the situation, stating it interfered with his parliamentary duties. The website was taken down immediately and remained unavailable for maintenance. Deputy speaker Nus Ghani advised MPs on security measures against such cyber threats, urging them to contact the Parliamentary Security Department for assistance.
