Russia Today website attacked for Wikileaks support
Russia Today, the Russian English language news service, has been subject to a DDoS attack by a group calling themselves Antileaks in an apparent protest at their support for the renegade Australian.
The group claimed responsibility for attacking the “government funded and controlled propaganda machine” which has been giving the Assange case saturation coverage.
Assange was previously given his own show by the station which included one episode where he interviewed the Ecuadorean president.
He is now holed up in the Ecuadorean Embassy in London after being given political asylum by the South American state, delaying his extradition to Sweden to answer claims he sexually assaulted two women.
