Media War Comes To MediaChannel.org: Our Site Is Under Attack!

 

MediaChannel.org

NEW YORK, March 13, 2006¡ª Perhaps it is a coincidence, perhaps not,

but on the very week that MediaChannel is offering information on the

protests against the media role in the Iraq War, and as our traffic

grows, parties unknown are targeting the site with a flood of vicious

technical attacks designed to bring our website down.

 

Fighting these attacks has taken up hours of time by our webmaster and

hosting company. It is draining our already meager resources. We need

help from internet security specialists we cannot afford. What started

as sporadic denial of service attacks has mushroomed into ongoing

multiple and coordinated attacks by people determined to destroy

Mediachannel.org and deprive our readers from viewing the site and

taking part in our community of concerned readers worldwide.

 

This attack on free speech is serious, potentially well-financed and

beyond our ability to deal with. We will have to cut back on what we

can offer until we are able to more effectively fight back.

 

If you are experienced at combating this type of pernicious internet

warfare, please write david.
