Computerworld - WikiLeaks, the focus of attention since it released a quarter-million U.S. diplomatic cables two days ago, is again under a denial-of-service (DoS) attack, Internet researchers said today.
The site remained online with some short interruptions, however, as did a secondary site,
cablegate.wikileaks.org, where nearly 300 U.S. State Department internal messages have been published thus far.
[The attackers] have upped their game," said Craig Labovitz, chief scientist at Arbor Networks, a supplier of anti-DoS technology.
"This looks like a different attack from yesterday. It's a more complex attack, with multiple components, and it's a more significant attack," added Labovitz.
