Lieberman Campaign Website Hacked?
Hotline ^ | 8/7/06

Posted on 08/07/2006 7:51:10 PM PDT by LdSentinal

At www.joe2006.com, the following message appears:

"This Account Is Under Construction"

According to Lieberman's campaign communications director, Marion Steinfels, "Yep, we've been hacked."

"There's a coordinated effort to overloaded our bandwith and that has brought down our website and our e-mail," she said. The attack began around mid-morning, she said.

Steinfels said the company that hosts the campaign website is investigating. It's the third time the site was broken into; it's the second time within a month.

Lieberman opponents might suggest that the Lieberman campaign forgot to pay its bill; Steinfels says that's totally untrue. Or that the campaign is responsible for adding content that crashed the site. But the campaign didn't add any significant new content.

There's no evidence at all that anyone associated with challenger Ned Lamont 's campaign had anything to do with the mischief.

One theory we'll throw out: the site has been hacked to make it appear as if the Lieberman campaign, running against the Netroots' candidate, forgot to pay its website bill. On the eve of the election. That's a theory.

If the Lieberman campaign did forget to pay its bills... well, it's a major ninth inning error.

Maybe so Dig, but they ain't losin' this one. Joe the Ho' is too Bush-like for CT demonrats. The sad thing is, the Pub's have no candiate.

Typical ultra-left politics of denial. Want to look for vote suppression and information suppression? It's right there, folks.

I wouldn't worry too much about the enemy within.

The next time we get hit hard enough at home there will be a domestic round up and a lot of these jokers will be either lined up against a wall and shot or put away where they can't cause any more trouble.

I'm pretty sure the bills were current. This is pretty lame.

Like it could get any uglier.

The Dems are eating thier own and that's a good thing in the long road.

Maybe. I am hoping that Liberman doesnt lose. There is a very real need that the Dem Party doesnt become the party of KOS totally. If there are not a few moderates like Liberman fighting then we are in a hell of a mess when they take back power.

I agree to a point. Lieberman is spot on about the war. But beyond that he can't be called moderate. And besides. I don't trust moderates.

Well, I do wish we could return to the days when there was such a creature as a conservative or moderate Democrat. Moderate I suppose menas different things to different people. It is true the Republicans have made political gains because of the Dems becoming so radical. But I often wonder if the Country is better off because there are no more John Breaux or Bennet Johnsons in the Senate. That there are no more blue dog Democrats like former Rep Buddy Roemer and what Tauzin was like. I just think it is going to a all out disaster for the Country when the Dems take back power. An event that is likely to happen at some point

Hacked or Denial of Service attack?
