And is hacking wiki leaks.

Gee. I wonder who could possibly want the flow of information to stop coming from these sites AND have the power to shut them down

The Department of Homeland Security told CNBC that it is "looking into all potential causes" of the attack. NBC News reported that one U.S. intelligence official said North Korea had been ruled out as a suspect.


While they are looking at North Korea, I'm sure everyone knows the attack is coming right across the street from DHS

Long Story short, it is a cyber attack on a major DNS provider. DNS is the service that tells your computer the digital address of a particular website so it can find/connect to it.

No specific websites are targeted just the DNS provider.

Exactly. They are trying to locate and destroy certain access/info before it is released.

The mole has been located.

Obviously. Chicken runs a Hillary Super PAC with the add revenue generated from this site.

Twitter falls in line already. Why would they need to shut it down?
