The Telegraph blocks user access after unusual security activity

5 articles · Updated · The Telegraph · May 4

Visitors are shown an "Access Issue Help" page saying the block was triggered on their connection and directing them to contact customer support with an Akamai reference number.
The notice advises users to try steps to regain access, but gives no detail on the nature of the activity or how many users are affected.
No previous related reports were provided, leaving unclear whether this is a wider outage, a targeted security measure or a temporary access-control problem.
