Wikileaks 'hacked ahead of secret US document release'

Source: BBC

Whistle-blowing website Wikileaks says it is under attack from a computer-hacking operation, ahead of a release of secret US documents.

"We are currently under a mass distributed denial of service attack," it says on its Twitter feed.

It adds that several newspapers will go ahead and publish the documents released to them by Wikileaks even if the site goes down.

The newspapers set to publish details of the US embassy cables include Spain's El Pais, France's Le Monde, Germany's Speigel, the UK's Guardian and the New York Times.

WikiLeaks Claim: 'We're Under Cyber Attack'

Alison Chung, Sky News Online

Thousands of potentially embarrassing US documents are due to be published by whistleblower website WikiLeaks - but the organisation says it is under cyber attack.

The secret files - believed to be the first batch of up to 2.7 million documents to be published - are expected to be released this evening.

But Wikileaks has written on Twitter: "We are currently under a mass distributed denial of service attack."

Sky News has been able to access the whistleblower website and news outlets that have already seen the documents insist they will go ahead in publishing the contents.

Good.

This seems rather credible. It was alleged that Hilary Clinton ordered intelligence info on UN officials,.

The type of info allegedly sought would indicate the US was gearing up for a massive hacking attack.

Do you believe its all true?

Do you believe its all true?

Any information that is out there has to be scrutinized.

Just as Fox News or even C-Span should be critically viewed, so should Wikileaks.

But it's terrible news that they're under attack.

The bottomline in all this shit is that the US military, intelligence communities and government are looking like a bunch of fucking idiots.  I mean my god.........how can some 19 year old computer geek get access to all this shit?  It not only happens one time but now it's happening a again.  I mean can the US military fucking protect anything nowadays?  Can they do anything efficiently anymore?  There will only be more shit like this as the the US military grows beyond what is manageable.  If some pimply homo teenager can cause so much embarrassment I can only imagine what a real enemy like China is doing.  The politicians and top military brass are fucking idiots.  Why anyone serves these clowns anymore is beyond me.

Because it's not just 19 year old computer geeks involved, obviously, there are more people that are not a fan of cloak and dagger bullshit coruption, maybe there for democracy or something who knows..
