"Lieberman's 'hack' was no such thing "

See the story at the IT newsite:

"Lieberman's 'hack' was no such thing "

"while the site was down it did not show a 503 error which is typical when a site is suffering from a DoS attack. The site had low pings during the "attack". Normally if it were under a DOS attack, it would be dropping packets and have high pings."

"According to FEC filings, Lieberman outsourced his web design and domain hosting to an outfit called myhostcamp.com. Myhostcamp.com has a long history of handing high bandwidth sites and DOS attacks are a walk in the park to it."

"However Lieberman was not running his $16 million dollar campaign on a high bandwidth site. In fact the whole thing was being run on a $14.95 a month site on which he got only 10GB of bandwidth. When he exceeded it, the site shut down."

Kudos to Inquirer reporter Nick Farrell.
