EU parliament website attacked after MEPs brand Russia ‘state sponsor of terrorism’

The European Parliament website has been hit by a cyberattack, shortly after lawmakers approved a resolution calling Russia a “state sponsor of terrorism,” officials say.

Parliament spokesman Jaume Duch posts on Twitter that the site has been targeted by a “DDOS attack” designed to force high levels of traffic from outside parliament onto the site, disrupting the network.
