MANILA, Philippines (Update 2 8:39 p.m.) — The websites of the Senate and blue ribbon chairman Richard Gordon fell victim to cyberattacks this week as the panel advanced its high-profile probe on the government's anomalous deals with Pharmally Pharmaceutical Corp. 

 

Access to the Senate's website was "temporarily blocked" Wednesday due to "an ongoing distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack," the chamber's electronic data and processing-management and information system (EDP-MIS) bureau told reporters. 

 

DDoS attacks are perpetrated to disrupt a website or network's usual online activities by flooding it with traffic requests.
