According to this post, Wikileaks is down because of China. Wikileaks posted more than 100 photos of the Tibetan protests. (Graphic photos. See them here. But be warned – they are really, really graphic.) China then initiated a DDOS attack, which overran Wikileaks’ server and shut the system down.
That is what one blogger said. I’m not sure how much sense this makes because, as far as I understand, Wikileaks maintains multiple servers. I am not a techie, so my thoughts on this could be completely off, but I’m at least a bit skeptical.
Still, that’s all I can find…
…and Wikileaks is still down.
