The websites and digital platforms of Al Jazeera Media Network are undergoing systematic and continual hacking attempts, Al Jazeera said.
“These attempts are gaining intensity and taking various forms. However, the platforms have not been compromised,” according to the media company.
However, the attack on Al-Jazeera is apparently not a denial-of-service attack, as the websites remain available. The TV channels are also not affected.
