Cyber-Attack Target Needs Your Help!
As noted in yesterday's features concerning the DoS cyber-attacks and their likely perpetrators, the top target of the on-line crackers who took so many blogs offline yesterday was a site called Internet Haganah (trans: "Internet Defense"). They maintain a database of al-Qaeda affiliated sites around the net, and also work to get them shut down. Unfortunately, the recent attacks have stressed their resources, and they need your help:
"For Internet Haganah to have a fighting chance of surviving such attacks we need to mirror our site at multiple locations, on different backbones, in different datacenters. This costs money, money we don't have.Contributions to Internet Haganah at this time will go towards securing additional servers, domain names, DNS services and other expenses related to making our presence on the internet more resistant to future attacks."
You can see As-Sahwah's official gloating here. That's all the explanation you need for why this is a worthy cause, and contributing helps us all by giving us a template and testbed for better blog defenses. As our reader 'Paul' noted:
"I think when he finally gets back up we should all send Aaron 25 bucks so he can mirror his sites. He is doing his part to keep our sorry butts from being blown up by terrorists."
Yes, he is. Jonathan Galt of the Yahoo! Terror Web group chimes in with the donation links:
You don't have to wait until he's back up to send him the $25. There are several mirrored sites on free web servers which have PayPal buttons -- it looks like he's more than half way to the goal:
If you've ever wondered how you could make a personal contribution to the war effort, this is one such opportunity. The Winds of Change.NET team strongly encourages our readers to give to this worthy cause, and keep Internet Haganah standing watchful guard on behalf of us all.
