The 2010 cyberattacks on Myanmar (also known as Burma) were distributed denial-of-service attacks (DDoS) that began on 25 October,[1] occurring ahead of the 2010 Burmese general election, which is widely viewed as a sham election.[2][3]
This election was the first that Burma had had in 20 years.[4] The attacks were significantly larger than attacks against Estonia and Georgia in 2007 and 2008 respectively.[5] The attack followed a similar one on 1 February 2010,[6] and also followed an incident of a total loss of connection to the internet the previous spring when a submarine communications cable was severed accidentally.[7]
