+0.5 but we are getting away from the topic of this mailing list, which is what has happened and is happening to the domain wikileaks.org? How did it ended up redirecting to known criminal groups websites? Can ICANN (community) shed a light? Are we missing some tools/information? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Derek Smythe" <derek@aa419.org> To: "At-Large Worldwide" <at-large@atlarge-lists.icann.org> Sent: Monday, 20 December, 2010 2:23:59 PM Subject: Re: [At-Large] Wikileaks.org +1 On 2010/12/20 23:15, Neil Schwartzman wrote:
1. spamhaus has not denied wikileaks service, they have blocked, since 2008, the IP upon which wikileaks.ifo sits, and recently sprang up upon.

What clearly *is* distributed is a giant helping of stupid, to those who cannot parse what Spamhaus are saying, and DDoSing them. The criminals who run that patch of internet have been spreading disinformation, and gullible do-gooders, in the rampant desire to somehow help Wikileaks, have moved to DDoSing Spamhaus. The DDoSers have been manipulated into DoSing on behalf of criminals. Fan-tastic!
