The popular internet provider Lovit, operating in Moscow and St. Petersburg, has been subjected to a massive DDoS attack. As a result, the company's users began reporting massive disruptions in the operation of the Internet, and some customers have no connection at all.
The company's press service reported that the incident affected key elements of the infrastructure, which led to technical difficulties in the operation of services.
Specialists from Roskomnadzor recorded a peak attack power of 65 Gbit/s — the speed reached up to 6.33 million packets per second. The attack began at 10 a.m. and continues to this day.
According to the Downdetector service as of 10:00 on March 22, almost 35 thousand complaints were recorded per day. 38% of them come from Moscow and the Moscow region, 14% from the Tver region, 13% from the Nizhny Novgorod region and 11% from St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region. The company's specialists are actively working to restore the operation of services, and customers were promised a recalculation for the downtime of the Internet.
Many residents of PIK new buildings in Moscow and the region also faced problems, since Lovit is the only available provider in these residential complexes. For more than a day, they have not been able to connect to the Internet, and door phones also do not work due to the failure.
Many residents who use applications instead of keys for 3000 rubles cannot get into their homes. As a result, they find themselves in a situation where they have to knock on their neighbors' apartments and ask for help.
Residents of new buildings express dissatisfaction with Lovit's monopoly and say that they will file a complaint with the FAS. The company does not specify the time frame in which the problem will be resolved.
