[Editor’s Note: Michelle Malkin is experiencing problems with her weblog after being the target of cyberattacks. While they last, Pajamas Media will host her posts here]

The cyberjihad continues. Zone-H, which monitors Internet hackers, reports that “the Moroccan hacker known as Yanis was arrested” in Paris on Tuesday:

Yanis is accused of having defaced several French important websites (university of Strasbourg and Toulouse, website of the city of Lyon etc..), but his activity as defacer is far more complex: Zone-h, the independent observatory of cyber-crime, have monitored nearly 3000 notifications of intrusions in the last month related to the Prophet Mohammed digital Ummah protest (about 710 are by Yanis) while in his whole illegal “carreer” he compromised 1161 websites. Besides, Zone-h highlighted that the attacks pursued by Islamic hackers have noticeably increased after the spreading out of the Prophet Mohammed cartoons issue, and many defacements, like those by Yanis, clearly show, sometimes violently and offensively, their blame for Danish and more generally Western attitude.

Relating to this point, the French magistrate charged a heavy count of indictment on Yanis, who is accused of “Apology of war crime and incitation to racial hate”, because of his hacking activity on Danish websites. The accusation focuses on his commitment in the boycott campaign against Danish products.

After receiving several threats and experiencing one denial of service attack upon appearing on Fox News Channel to display the Mohammed Cartoons, my site went down again this morning at approx. 9am EST and remains down.

My last post on the cyberjihad is cached here.

I’ll be posting here at Pajamas Media until my blog is up and running again.

UPDATE. It’s a confirmed DoS attack, with most of the IP addresses from turktelecom.

More free speech suppression from the intolerant moose.

I hope that Michelle has seen to her personal security. I'm afraid that some of the things she's said lately may place her in harm's way and not just cyber harm.

More free speech suppression from the intolerant moose.

That's actually a good nickname! (I've seen "moose-limbs", but yours is the first post I've seen shorten it to "moose".) If you've ever lived where real moose live, you'll know that they're incredibly nasty little buggers. They'll tell you in moose country: if you see a moose, RUN!

I hope that Michelle has seen to her personal security.

I agree, but let's not discuss that here on FR.

My wife is from rural (eastern) British Columbia and moose is always in her family's freezer. Moose hash and stew are a couple of my favorites.

PETA is going to be comming after you. Shame on you for giving moose a bad name.

This charming group participated in one of the "peace" rallys held this past year.

"Doesn't Yani mean vagina in some foreign language?"

I think you're thinking of yoni. Although Yanni is kind of a p-ssy, come to think of it.
