WikiLeaks vanishes from web as US company removes DNS support Everydns.net says distributed attack against leaks site endangered other customers' service – effectively pushing site off the internet

WikiLeaks has been knocked off the net. Photograph: Joe Raedle/Getty Images WikiLeaks has been knocked off the net after the US company everydns.net which translated its domain name – wikileaks.org – to its "internet protocol" (IP) address withdrew support.In a statement on its website, the free everydns.net service said that the "distributed denial of service" (DDOS) attacks by unknown hackers – who are trying to knock WikiLeaks off the net – meant that the leaks site was interfering with the service being provided to other users. That in turn meant that WikiLeaks had broken everydns.net's terms of service, and it cut the site off at 3am GMT on Friday (10PM EST Thursday).DNS services translate a website name, such as guardian.co.uk, into machine-readable "IP quads" – in that case 77.91.249.30, so that http://77.91.249.30 will show the Guardian site. If the DNS fails, the site is only reachable via IP address – but WikiLeaks has not yet provided one via Twitter or other means. Everydns.net said that the attacks – which have been going on all week, and led the site to temporarily host its services on Amazon's more resilient EC2 "cloud computing" service – "threaten the stability of the EveryDNS.net infrastructure, which enables access to almost 500,000 other websites".WikiLeaks was given 24 hours' notice of the termination, and everydns said: "Any downtime of the wikileaks.org website has resulted from its failure to use another hosted DNS service provider."The move comes after several days of WikiLeaks coming under a determined DDOS attack, apparently from hackers friendly to the point of view of the US government, which has disparaged the site's leaking of thousands of US diplomatic cables.US companies have also come under intense political pressure to remove any connection to, or support for, WikiLeaks. Amazon ended its hosting of the cables on its EC2 cloud computer service earlier this week, but last night insisted in a blogpost that its decision was not due to pressure from Senator Joe Lieberman, who has called for the removal of the data – and who has influenced at least one other US company to withdraw support for WikiLeaks data.In a blogpost late on Thursday, Amazon said reports that government inquiries prompted it to remove the data were "inaccurate". Amazon said:
"[Amazon Web Services] does not pre-screen its customers, but it does have terms of service that must be followed. WikiLeaks was not following them. There were several parts they were violating. For example, our terms of service state that "you represent and warrant that you own or otherwise control all of the rights to the content… that use of the content you supply does not violate this policy and will not cause injury to any person or entity". It's clear that WikiLeaks doesn't own or otherwise control all the rights to this classified content. Further, it is not credible that the extraordinary volume of 250,000 classified documents that WikiLeaks is publishing could have been carefully redacted in such a way as to ensure that they weren't putting innocent people in jeopardy."

It noted that:

"When companies or people go about securing and storing large quantities of data that isn't rightfully theirs, and publishing this data without ensuring it won't injure others, it's a violation of our terms of service, and folks need to go operate elsewhere."

But as commentators have pointed out, that stance is contradicted by the fact that Amazon has previously hosted the "war logs" from WikiLeaks which contained data about the US wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.Connecting to WikiLeaks is presently not possible until it gets a new DNS service. WikiLeaks itself said on Twitter that the ending of DNS services was allegedly due to "claimed mass attacks" and called for further donations to "keep us strong".

Izgleda da ce ceo ovaj slucaj dovesti do toga da USA poboljsaju metode za cenzurisanje sadrzaja na Internetu. Nadam se da ovakvi napadi znače da se očekuju neki baš zanimljivi leakovi.

Izgleda da je do sada najviše šteta imala američka politika na bliskom istoku, tj srušila se iluzija o izvozu viška demokratije u taj region. Ne znam da li i šta može gore po USA sa se objavi.

Samo ne znam zašto bi se dodatno blamirali pokušajem da zatvore sajt i uhapse čoveka zbog nemanja kurdoma, osim da pošalju poruku. Zbog toga mislim da ima još nešto što bi ovi voleli da se ne vidi.

ma i po zakonu verovatnoće međ tim hiljadama dosada neobjavljenih mora da ima još nešto pikantno.

Majko moja kakve gnjide Pa ako su baje, što ne zatvore i Gardijan i Špigl?A Asanž samo treba nekako da se došunja do Manastira Vavedenje ili nekog drugog ovčarsko-kablarskog. Ima društvo iskustva u skrivanju begunaca za kvalitetan outsourcing.

Berluskoni rastura :D

¶6. (C/NF) XXXXXXXXXXXX confided that Berlusconi believes the Italian intelligence services might have deliberately entrapped him in his alleged affair involving a minor. During XXXXXXXXXXXX’s conversation with the Embassy political officer, Berlusconi called XXXXXXXXXXXX to confide that an arrest was imminent of four Italian Carabinieri believed to be blackmailing the Lazio regional governor with a sex-tape. (Note: The story of the Lazio governor and a transsexual prostitute exploded in the press a few days later. End note.) XXXXXXXXXXXX told the Embassy officer that this case has convinced Berlusconi that he cannot trust his own intelligence services. Separately, on October 21, Northern League leader Umberto Bossi, commenting on Berlusconi’s troubles, told the Ambassador that organized crime figures had probably set the trap for Berlusconi on some of the sex scandals, but that nobody denies that Berlusconi willingly went for the bait.
