Russian President Vladimir Putin's much-hyped speech at St. Petersburg International Economic Forum was delayed on Friday after a "massive" cyberattack, the Kremlin has announced.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told journalists in an impromptu conference call that the speech would be postponed by an hour due to distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks on the conference's systems.
"Unfortunately, today, due to massive DDoS attacks on the forum's system, the base of accreditation and admission were disabled," Peskov said.
