US-based Zoho Corporation, which provides an online suite of apps for businesses, has seen its services disrupted since Wednesday.

On the Zoho blog, Vijay Sundaram the ‎Chief Strategy Officer at Zoho Corporation wrote on Sunday that its services were specifically targeted with the intention to disrupt services using a distributed denial of service attack (DDoS), which overloads servers with dummy requests.

"Our teams have been working nonstop over the last 72 hours with various counter measures," wrote Sundaram in his latest status update.
