On Wednesday evening, thousands of internet users attacked government websites, forcing several of them to crash, including those of the Thai Defense Ministry and the Ministry of Information and Communication Technology, the Bangkok Post newspaper reported.
All the websites managed to restored their activities by Thursday morning, according to the news outlet.
An online petition, which has already collected more than 100,000 signatures, has been set up to protest the government plans.
DDOS attacks can be caused by a huge number of Internet users or special programs simultaneously sending requests to a website until it exceeds its capacity to handle the Internet traffic.
