It was caused by DDOS [distributed denial-of-service] attacks from overseas hackers that blocked the entry and exit points of local internet services," Wuhan-based Jiupai News quoted on official, citing an unnamed China Telecom official.
Chinese internet users have been reporting service interruptions in Hunan province throughout the day.
Local providers in Hunan are reportedly working to restore the internet services.
