Surasak dismissed claimed by the group of “Citizens Against Single Gateway: Thailand Internet Firewall” that a DDoS attack organized by the group brought the down the webiste for an hour at 8:55 pm Thursday. “The system went down just 10 minutes and it resumed,” Surasak said. The group has urged Thai Internet users to join another DDoS attack at 2 pm Friday. Surasak said the officials will step up measures to prevent the attack. The group staged the attack after the National Legislative Assembly refused to abort the final reading of the new computer crime bill.
