WikiLeaks Under Fire
Found on Slashdot on Sunday, 17 February 2008
The transparency group WikiLeaks.org currently seems to be under heavy fire. The main WikiLeaks.org DNS entry is unavailable, reportedly due to a restraining order relating to a series of articles and documents released by WikiLeaks about off-shore trust structures in the Cayman Islands.
WikiLeaks alternate names remained available until Saturday, when there seems to have been a heavy DDoS attack and a fire at the ISP. The documents in question are still available on other WikiLeaks sites, such as wikileaks.be, and are also mirrored on Cryptome.
Looks like some unpleasant revelations were made. A lawsuit, a dDoS attack and a fire at the ISP are rather unlikely to happen at the same time.
