I'm far more interested in how anyone expects a government-built system to handle the traffic when four million people log in at once.prophetic.
It’s not that prophetic. Sites go down all the time if they make the front page of reddit. Uni timetable systems drop and that’s only 10s of thousands at most. It’s managers with nfi how loaded systems can get and not allocating resources affectively.
ABC news site has some of the twitter comments:

Reckon Revolution IT were the most competent tender submission or the cheapest?
I’m shocked that this failed.

Verified now, that the site was attempted to be hacked,... 4 times!!The 4th attack they couldn’t hold off, … so were forced to shut the site down
Attacks were coming from overseas.
There’s no way that’s remotely true.
Correct.
Absolutely no evidence of an attack.
Exactly 0 large or unusual DDoS attacks on Australian sites in the past 72 hrs.
It’s a bare face lie.
Haha - ^^^digitalattackmap page didn’t load for me - must be too many people hitting that page right now.

What is DDos?
Distributed Denial of Service - ie attack from multiple sources. Typical DoS attack.

Can you just use a fake name?I’m gonna use a Muslim name so I get plenty of attention once my privacy is destroyed.
Sounds good, … I’m gonna go with Ji Hadi, … see what happens.
hacking =/= DDoS.

Imagine the effect of throwing one rock at a wheelie bin versus the effect of throwing 600,000 rocks at a wheelie bin over the course of 3 seconds.
I don't think it's a lie. My guess would be a software or network engineer (who are incapable of applying context to anything) would have reported a "higher number of requests than anticipated" caused the service to fall over, and then a manager (who are incapable of applying the correct context to anything) would have interpreted that as "DDoS attack" rather than "users trying to do what they're supposed to do"Verified now, that the site was attempted to be hacked,... 4 times!!The 4th attack they couldn’t hold off, … so were forced to shut the site down

Having worked with various high end software engineers over the years, I reckon that their design brief said something like “12 million users on a single day”, which they divided by 24 and figured 500k per hour is sufficient, and not at any point questioned at what time during the day the users might actually do it given they are human beings who attend to various other matters at different times of day, and not just some unit of calculation.
Software engineers tend to be very, very good at software engineering, and absolutely nothing else.
hacking =/= DDoS.
Head abs statistician told ABC this morning it was a ddos attack
First question the minister gets, he looks to the other guy for the answer, the other guy bails immediately to another guy. LOL
