Default Traffic to Wikileaks Being Re-directed to BlackHat Hacker Sites

From the article

Quote:
On Monday Spamhaus became aware that the main Wikileaks website, wikileaks.org, was redirecting web traffic to a 3rd party mirror site, mirror.wikileaks.info. This new web site is hosted in a very dangerous "neighborhood", Webalta's 92.241.160.0/19 IP address space, a "blackhat" network which Spamhaus believes caters primarily to, or is under the control of, Russian cybercriminals.
In related news from the cyber-battlefield...

Spamhaus came under DDoS attack shortly after delivering its warning, and responded by accusing AnonOps of being the source. AnonOps strongly denies playing any part in the attack, raising speculation that this may be a classic "false flag" operation aimed at damaging both Wikileaks and AnonOps.
