Revenge attack for the arrest of Mr Leaky. It probably isn't going to be down for long but looking forward to the media hysteria on this one

Qwerty-Uiop · 12 Dec 2010 at 21:34

Surely Anonymous didn't bring them down?! Amazon are huge!

Yeah, Wikileaks had some kind of Amazon account that you could donate money to in order to support their cause and help defend them in court cases. This was suspended by Amazon. They had threatened to attack them, but I think called it off because they couldn't manage it some such.

Perhaps they changed their mind to tonight because they knew that there would already be a huge amount of traffic to the sites from shoppers. I myself was just trying to do a Xmas order!
