According to internet provider Bahnhof, which hosts Flashback's servers, the attack came from multiple directions and is one of the largest ever directed at the forum.
The attack is unusually large, and there are usually quite a few people who have the opportunity to carry out that type of large attack, says Jon Karlung, CEO of internet provider Bahnhof, to the newspaper.
However, Karlung does not want to speculate about who could be behind it, and says the incident must be analyzed in more detail.
