Nara Jangter Procurement Portal Crashes Due to External Attack

Public Procurement Service (PPS)

The national government bidding platform froze for an hour after concentrated access from foreign IP addresses.

On November 23, 2023, the PPS "Nara Jangter" website—the central system for all government bidding—suffered a sudden crash. While the government initially suspected another equipment glitch, the NIS later revealed that an unknown agent with a foreign IP address attempted a concentrated access attack (DDoS-style) on the server, coinciding with other government network failures that week.
