Jawa Report Under Attack By Cyber-Jihadis

Proving once again that Western concepts of freedom of expression are incompatible with the world-view of jihadi Muslims, the fine folks over at The Jawa Report are under a DDOS attack that has temproarily forced them off the the blogosphere. This also temporarily shut down all the Munuvians, until our beloved host saved the day.

Annika sez: i heard a rumor about a hacker threat?

Yes. It's a group of Turkish Islamist hacker-wannabe's going after The Jawa Report. They can't actually break in, so they've settled for a Distributed Denial of Service attack which takes us offline.

Unfortunately, the shared filesystem I built to keep us going in these situations decided to choose today to drop off its perch, so I wasn't able to bring everything back up on the other server. Right now, I'm copying everyone's files across, one blog at a time.

update: Okay, I think it's all fixed, except for The Jawa Report, which will be back as soon as the attack is over.

I have managed to separate things so that when an attack starts, we can just block it, and only The Jawa Report will go offline.

Thanks, Pixy, for everything you do for those of us in the Munuvian Universe.

And may these Islmaist sons of swine, who keep attacking the free men and women of the blogosphere in a futile attempt to silence the truth, one day receive a gift ordered from the same catalog as that recently delivered to Abu Musam al-Zarqawi.
