By mid-day of February 1, Ex.ua had to appeal to users to stop the attack that succeeded in disrupting the work of nearly all major governmental websites: Dear users, Administrators of Ex.ua call on you to stop all illegal activity against governmental websites. At the same time, a heated discussion of Ex.ua’s supposed illegal activity was taking place online.
Многие критиковали правительство за нападки на Ex.ua и требовали возобновления его работы.
