Summary

A research paper linking to a now vanished article (that I found back on web.archive.org) mentions the possibility that the victim port would have been victim of a "large scale" Distributed Denial of Service attack in 2013.

The port mentioned, in other available studies, that it had to face at that date one million hacking attempts a day and two to three so-called "cyber storms" a year.
