This does smell like the work Anonymous. I think it is the kind of dramatic stunt they would pull, being quasi-anarchists and all.
Notice who is not being DDOSed? WikiLeaks.
That kind of surprised me. I would have thought that Hillary/Obama would have ordered the US Cyber Command or some other covert asset to shout them down by now.
I suspect they literally don’t have that capability. It requires hijacking a ton of PCs and I bet the US govt lawyers said no.
Wikileaks is an agile collection of servers in many locations. Hard to take them down, but the US is trying. In the meantime the US is trying to gum up the works. Most disruptive traffic today is coming from Microsoft offices.
Update: Twitter now completely down for me. Darn.
