Maltese Government Under Fire After Blogger Accuses Them Of Crashing His Website Multiple Times

Manuel Delia's website crashed yet again, with the first one on the 16th of May. He claims that it has been done by a group of hackers hired by the Maltese government. 

It seems to have taken place through DDoS (Distributed Denial of Services), which means millions of users ask for access to the website together, which makes the website crash. The crash seems to have been deliberately orchestrated exactly 6 months after Daphne Caruana Galizia, a Maltese journalist and anti corruption activist was murdered.

The government, of course, put down and denied the allegations made by Manuel and said that they didn't have any role in it. Manuel then responded by asking them why they weren't helping him find those hackers in that case. He said that the Maltese government did not support his right to freedom of speech and that they weren't equipped to protect the people from computer misuse and cyber-crime.
