There is little shelling: the US attacked the official website of the DPR
The American certification center ISRG began to block the service of all services that are subject to US government sanctions. In this regard, the official website of the Donetsk People's Republic, which publishes the republic's legal acts and news from official institutions, was first deprived of protection without warning, and then subjected to a powerful hacker attack.
The PolitNavigator correspondent was informed about this by the press service of the DPR Ministry of Information.

“On December 21, 2017, the company providing the site dnr-online.ru with a secure SSL certification system revoked the certificate without prior notice and blacklisted the DNR name, a list of prohibited domain names. ISRG, the company that operates the certificate authority, said that from this day on it will block services for individuals and organizations that are subject to US government sanctions.
Due to the impossibility of creating a new SSL certificate and due to the presence of a “banned domain name,” the DPR Ministry of Information transferred the dnr-online.ru website to the standard http protocol.
After the site switched to the standard http protocol, the Internet resource was subject to a powerful DDoS attack.”
According to the department, thanks to a reliable security system, the DDoS attack was repelled, and at the moment the website of the government and official institutions of the DPR is working without interruptions.
