September 13th, 2009 admin
The Austin-based online payments startup Piryx reports that it was targeted in a DDoS (distributed denial of service) attack yesterday due to its hosting of a fundraising campaign for Joe Wilson – the politican who made headlines this week after shouting “You Lie!” during Obama’s health care reform speech . Piryx, a non-partisan site that hopes to build out a platform for political fundraising, says the DDoS attack began at 3:12pm CST Friday and was finally brought under control at 1:45am CST Saturday. The company writes via email: Yesterday (Friday) around 3:12pm CST we noticed the bandwidth spike on the downstream connections to Piryx.com server collocation facility.

IED Attacks from Wikileaks Afghanis...IED Attacks as documented in the data leak by from Julian Assange's Wikileaks overlaid on a NATO map of the area. The green explosions are ones in which no one was hurt, yellow ones are injuries only, and red ones are fatal IEDs. On the death and injury tallies, the left column is friendlies (including both allied forces and civilians), and the right column is so-called "enemies". BACKGROUND: A massive leak of over 90-thousand secret US military files has exposed cover-ups over the war in Afghanistan. The classified documents were handed to three newspapers by the whistle-blowing website Wikileaks by Julian Assange. They include reports on the deaths of hundreds of civilians, increased Taliban attacks, as well as NATO fears Pakistan and Iran are backing the insurgency. MEANWHILE: DEMOCRATS DEEPLY DIVIDED OVER AFGHAN WAR A vote by the House of Representatives on emergency funding for the war in Afghanistan has revealed eroding support for President Barack Obama's war policy among members of his own Democratic Party. There were 102 Democrats voting against the $33 billion in war funding. That's more than three times the number of Democrats who voted against a similar funding bill in June 2009.
