The Polish public television TVP's online broadcast of Poland's Group D opening match against the Netherlands in the Euro 2024 championships was hit by a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack at the start of the match, the broadcaster has said.

“At about 3pm Polish Television detected a DDoS attack carried out from IP addresses located in Poland,” TVP said on the X platform on Sunday afternoon. “After less than a minute, we took action in collaboration with national operators, which led to a mitigation of the attack. The IT teams have restored the service,” the broadcaster added.

DDoS attacks block websites by overwhelming them with a flood of internet traffic.
