Burma hit by cyber attack as military cancels voting for 2 million ahead of Nov 7 elections
An ongoing computer attack has knocked Burma off the internet, just days ahead of its first election in 20 years.
The attack started in late October but has grown in the last few days to overwhelm the nation's link to the net, said security firm Arbor Networks.
Reports from Burma say the disruption is ongoing.
The attack, which is believed to have started on Oct. 25, comes ahead of closely-watched national elections on Nov. 7.
Meanwhile election authorities in military-ruled Burma have canceled voting in Sunday's elections in more areas where restive ethnic minorities are dominant. The Union Election Commission canceled balloting in the elections in 12 more village tracts in six constituencies in Kayah state "as conditions are not conducive to holding a free and fair election", according to an official notice. Each tract comprises several villages.
