WikiLeaks Back Online After Massive DDoS Attack

Gadgehit.com writes: "Wikileaks is back online after suffering a massive distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack, which has been causing the service to be slow or unresponsive since the beginning of August. A recently registered Twitter account, Antileaks, claimed responsibility for the attack, but it is unknown if this is a spoof or real account." (Culture, Web, Wikileaks)
