Together For Yes has confirmed its crowdfunding page was hacked in a cyber attack on Wednesday evening. The umbrella group, calling for a Yes vote in the Eighth Amendment referendum, claim this was carried out by "an unknown Irish-based entity." The crowdfund initiative was shut down for 30 minutes after the company hosting the website was attacked. The company which hosts the crowdfund webpage, Causevox, said it experienced a DDOS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack from within Ireland. Causevox also hosts crowdfund webpages for Amnesty and Terminations For Medical Reasons.
