WikiLeaks Leaves Amazon, Returns to Sweden

December 1, 2010 at 1:12 pm PT

WikiLeaks has left its U.S. host, Amazon Web Services, and moved its operations back to Sweden. The whistleblowing site had left Bahnhof, its Swedish host, and sought refuge with Amazon after Sunday’s leak of U.S. State Department documents left it besieged by almost constant DDOS attacks. The site reported another DDOS attack early yesterday, and was down earlier today. Neither WikiLeaks nor Amazon has officially commented on their relationship or why it ended.

About Voices

Along with original content and posts from across the Dow Jones network, this section of AllThingsD includes Must-Reads From Other Websites — pieces we’ve read, discussions we’ve followed, stuff we like. Six posts from external sites are included here each weekday, but we only run the headlines. We link to the original sites for the rest. These posts are explicitly labeled, so it’s clear that the content comes from other websites, and for clarity’s sake, all outside posts run against a pink background.

We also solicit original full-length posts and accept some unsolicited submissions.
