Recently Demonoid, Wikileaks & KrebsOnSecurity websites were hit by DDoS attacks. Demonoid never got back & was permanently shut down by authorities. While Wikileaks & KrebsOnSecurity came back online after the DDoS attack was over. This increase in DDoS attacks could be just an increasing random trend or specifically targeted act done by a group of individuals. No one has taken any responsibilities for these DDoS attacks. Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack is an attack on a web server in which a large number of junk requests from many computers are sent simultaneously to the server thus making it unavailable for real users.

Are these attacks done by Authorities? This will be a question unanswered.
The only people who will gain anything from these attacks are Officials.

I guess we will nEVER Know, do we?.either way is great for the Privacy Group of MPAA.

Bullshit.............

As the article says only Anti-piracy groups profited from these attacks, So we can only take our guesses.

Who could be behind of those attacks? Anti-Wikileaks group? RIAA, MPAA ? Gee.. wonder that.

Why can't they are not supporters of wikileaks either.
