“We are currently under another DDOS attack,” WikiLeaks reported early this morning via its official Twitter account. This was followed two hours later by another Tweet reporting “DDOS attack now exceeding 10 Gigabits a second.” The site was forced to create a sub-Web site, cablegate.wikileaks.org, on Sunday after an initial DDOS attack rendered its main site inaccessible during the release of 250,000 U.S. embassy cables. Both sites are currently available.
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.
