South African National Defence Force

The South African news site Daily Maverick claimed that an Indian DDoS strike forced them to restrict the whole domain of India in order to safeguard its website.

The claimed attack came a day after the portal published information stating that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi had refused to leave his plane at Waterkloof Air Force Base in Pretoria in order to attend the 2023 BRICS Summit.
