I found this interesting….
The anti-spam organisation may have been hit with a DDoS by wikileaks.info organisers.

Last week, the anti-spam organisation put out a warning wikileaks.org was redirecting web traffic to third-party mirror site wikileaks.info – a space Spamhaus said was a known hive of activity for Russian cyber criminals.

Spamhaus’s main concern was the security of the website’s Webalta’s 92.241.160.0/19 IP address space – it did not have any anti-WikiLeaks agenda.

“We do have an interest in preventing spam and related types of internet abuse however and hope that the WikiLeaks staff will quickly address the hosting issue to remove the possibility of cyber criminals using WikiLeaks traffic for illicit purposes,” the organisation said.


If I understand this correctly Wikileaks servers in Russia are also used by Russian Crime syndicates.

BTW, RSM repeated Barret Brown’s claim that I accused him of being a Russian agent. In fact, I speculated that Wikileaks and possibly Anon were funded or assisted by hostile foreign governments, criminals (and even corporations). I stand by that speculation.
