The WikiLeaks website did happen to crash on Tuesday in what seemed to be a hacking attempt, coming after the accelerated publication of tens of thousands of once-secret State Department cables raised fresh concerns surrounding the exposure of confidential US embassy sources. According to WikiLeaks, “WikiLeaks.org is presently under attack” where an hour later, the site and the cables posted there could no longer be accessed. WikiLeaks of course turned to their Twitter account, while directing its followers to look for cables on a mirror site or a separate search system – cablegatesearch.net.
