Wikileaks Taken Offline By Dns Provider

WIKILEAKS WENT went offline again on Friday after the company providing its DNS services decided to terminate the whistleblower websites account.

The outage comes two days after Amazon Web Services (AWS) decided to end its hosting agreements with WikiLeaks, resulting in the website going offline for several hours until it was moved back to its previous Swedish host Bahnhof.

WikiLeaks.org domain killed by US everydns.net after claimed mass attacks, WikiLeaks tweeted, after its website went offline for the third time in a week.

EveryDNS.net said in a statement on its website it had terminated services to WikiLeaks, which it had hosted for four years.

The termination of services was effected pursuant to, and in accordance with, the EveryDNS.net Acceptable Use Policy, News.com.au quoted a statement from its website, as saying.

EveryDNS. net said that WikiLeaks violated the provision which states that Member shall not interfere with another Members use and enjoyment of the Service or another entitys use and enjoyment of similar services.

The interference at issues arises from the fact that wikileaks.org has become the target of multiple distributed denial of service (DDOS) attacks. These attacks have, and future attacks would, threaten the stability of the EveryDNS.net infrastructure, which enables access to almost 500,000 other websites, the statement added.

The termination comes amid massive controversy for WikiLeaks.

Earlier, on Sunday, the whistleblower website began releasing 250,000 classified US diplomatic cables in its biggest leak so far, angering leaders across the globe.

WikiLeaks will now need to register wikileaks.org - which it owns until 2018 - with another domain host in order to get its site up and running again.
