前情提要: • 11/28 公布文件 & 移至Amazon Cloud • 12/03 Amazon終止與Wikileaks的服務 • 12/09 Amazon遭受報復者的DDoS • 12/09~ 專注DDoS於PayPal、MasterCard等不提供帳戶服務的銀行 • And now…???
Web host SiteGround has suspended the accounts of at least two WikiLeaks mirror sites • SiteGroundand its upstream provider , SoftLayer
Claim the presence of the files put the host at risk for a DDoS attack. • Violate the company’s Acceptable Use Policy and ToS. • One user, Mark McCoy, posted on his blog the entire e-mail thread between him, SiteGround and SoftLayer.
In letter, initially informed McCoy: • "some illegal activity" had been performed through his site. • "severely" violated SiteGround’s Terms of Use and Acceptable Use Policy. • Be hacked 〈FTP〉 • McCoy got log about his account.
SiteGround said in the letter that when "illegal activity" is detected • The company had to "take immediate actions to stop that activity," or risk having the entire server "unplugged." • 要求刪除文件或停止使用服務
“Before I delete the ‘evidence,’ could you tell me what the exact violation is?"wrote McCoy • He had malware or an exploit on the site, not HTML and Javascript files. • But no update • It's incredibly disappointing to see more service providers cutting off customers simply • Because they decide (or fear) that content is too volatile or unpopular to host • They can cut off anyone for anything
WikiLeakslost its Web and DNS services shortly after it began posting the leaked cables. • Since then, it has moved to non-U.S.-based providers and relies on more than 1,000 mirror sites to stay online.
