Hacktivism at Work, Joe Lieberman’s Site Attacked
The day of the primary is a bad day to have your website attacked. It had happened before but this time it looks like a DDOS attack:
But the earlier two attacks involved defacements — the hacker altered content on Lieberman’s home page. This time, attackers toppled the Lieberman site with requests, probably by directing an army of hacked computers at the site.
Lieberman lost the primary and now goes on to run as an independent. Might it be time to find a new host?
THANK YOU! I posted on this as well. I was really bothered by this Geary guy who admins the website. Here’s a quote from him:
Come on. You had to know this was going to happen. You obviously did not have enough bandwidth. If your campaign war chest is not barren, then pull out some more bucks and do this thing right!
