Spamhaus under DDOS from AnonOps (Wikileaks.info)

Sun Dec 19 23:26:13 UTC 2010

Thanks for your note and the many others.  I think it could have been stated
more clearly that wikileaks.info, while in a bad neighborhood, and set up to
suggest it is Wikileaks or part of the Wikileaks organization, does not (at
this time) host or facilitate distribution of malware.  The Spamhaus
announcement was not so clear.
