Despite appearances, WikiLeaks wasnt hacked

The notorious OurMine gang hacked the WikiLeaks website on Thursday morning. A message was posted on the site warning that the group was testing the site’s security. Instead, OurMine managed to alter WikiLeakss DNS records (held by a third-party registrar) to direct anyone who tried to visit a different IP address which wasnt under the control of Julian Assange and his cronies. This kind of domain hijacking is a very effective way to embarrass an organisation publicly, and even (in the worst cases) attempt to scam visitors to malware.”]
