Boxun News Site Attacked Amid Bo Xilai Coverage. Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), Apr 25, 2012.

(two crippling denial-of-service attacks in the past week)

Quote:

"The first attack, on Friday, was so severe that it not only threatened Boxun but its entire hosting service, name.com. Denial-of-service attacks overload host servers with external communications requests, thus preventing websites from functioning. Bill Mushkin, chief executive of name.com, told The Associated Press that the attack followed an e-mailed demand that his company disable Boxun and cede control of the site to hackers. Labeling the attack a "strong arm tactic," Mushkin and his company helped Boxun move to another host, enom.com, but a second attack followed that forced yet another server relocation.

My comment: I am confused. This report is so similar to a report I introduced yestrday:

(" 中国官方的说法展示出一系列令国际社会和中国公众好奇的明显疑点和悬念，其中包括：
1）' 有证据证明尼尔·伍德死于他杀，' 证据是什么？证据在哪里？
2）'薄谷开来和张晓军（薄家勤务人员）有重大作案嫌疑，' 如此说法的理由是什么？证据在哪里？
3）谷开来为什么变成了新华社电讯中的'薄谷开来'？
4）尼尔·海伍德（Neil Heywood）为什么变成了新华社电讯中的'尼尔·伍德'？
5）为什么、以及有什么必要把薄谷的儿子薄瓜瓜扯进薄-谷-海伍德案中？")

My comment: There is no need to read the rest.
