Ukraine’s IT security experts said "Unfortunately, not each Ukrainian can come to Mykhailivska Square in Kiev or other local squares… That’s why I suggest an efficient way that everyone can show their protest in the Internet… I mean DDoS attack on the sites of our enemies in the government".
The Ukrainian government portal website www.kmu.gov.ua also went out of service on Sunday after suspected hacking. 35 people were injured after riot police cracked down on protesters camping out in the Independence Square in the capital Kiev Saturday, doctors said.
