BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

(Reuters) — Messaging service provider Telegram said on Wednesday it had stabilized its systems after a “powerful” distributed denial-of-service attack.

Telegram, which has more than 200 million users, had said earlier users in the United States and other countries may experience connection issues.

“For the moment, things seem to have stabilized,” the company said in another tweet nearly an hour after it acknowledged the attack.

Outage tracking website Downdetector.com showed that users in the United States and Brazil were the most affected.

In DDoS attacks, hijacked or virus-infected computers are used to target websites.
