Another month, another massive WikiLeaks document dump–and another
cyberattack on a site that has practically painted a red bullseye on its
servers.
On Sunday afternoon, as media from the
New York Times to the
Guardian began
to detail the contents of hundreds of thousands of secret
communications between the U.S. and its embassies around the world
uncovered by a WikiLeaks source, the whistleblower site
announced on
Twitter that it was facing a “mass distributed denial of service
attack” that, at least temporarily, had taken the site offline.
