Attack could be a warm-up for a larger scale disruption during US election

A massive cyber attack has brought down Liberia's entire internet network, using the same Mirai botnet that knocked a number of US sites offline last month. 

In a series of attacks over the course of this week, hackers have been able to take advantage of Liberia's basic internet infrastructure to intermittently take down websites.

Although the identity of the attackers remains unclear, the hacks made use of the botnet known as Mirai, the same one that targeted domain name system provider Dyn, leaving millions unable to access sites like Github, Reddit, Twitter, Spotify across the US and Europe last month.
