How this small non-profit group beat a malicious cyberattack

UN Women Australia says it has successfully repelled a malicious cyberattack, after hackers attempted to commit credit card fraud against the small non-profit organisation.

Cloudflare’s “Project Galileo” offers vulnerable targets such as artistic groups, humanitarian organisations, journalists and political dissidents free cybersecurity protection.
