Forbes.com: Al-Jazeera Web site faces continued hacker attacks (via Instapundit)
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Hacker attacks continued to plague the Web site of Arab satellite TV network al-Jazeera on Thursday, as cyber-vandals replaced the news site with a stars-and-stripes logo saying “Let Freedom Ring”.
Just for some technical information, the first attack on Al-Jazeera Web site was known as a “Distributed Denial of Service” or dDoS Attack. A topic we covered briefly in September when the b2 web site got hammered.
From today’s article in Forbes, it would appear that Al-Jazeera’s domain was hijacked. A topic we discussed back in January.
