Cyber snipers attack wikileaks
Cyber Snipers take on Wikileaks, Wikileaks guilty of espionage.
Penetrations, data leaks, private keys got out, massive
security leaks.
“communications infrastructure is currently under attack,” adding the cryptic message “Project BO move to coms channel S. Activate Reston5.”
A Wikileaks source who asks to remain anonymous now says that the organization’s XMPP server in Amsterdam, used to host its encrypted instant messaging communications, was compromised earlier this week by an unknown attacker, and the chat service had to be relocated to another server in Germany.
Wikileaks’ site has been largely disabled over the last several weeks, displaying only a note that the site is “undergoing scheduled maintenance” and “will be back online as soon as possible.”
If a major leak is in the works, it wouldn’t the first time Wikileaks’ site has suffered technical issues and recovered in time to regain the spotlight. Last June its submissions page ceased to function, but was fixed in time for the release of the so-called “Afghan War Diary” in July.
Aside from digital sabotage, the site has also faced financial sniping. Wikileaks had one of its accounts frozen by the donation-collecting company Moneybookers, and claims the freeze was a result of the organization being placed on a U.S. government watchlist and an Australian government blacklist.
