**Cyber Attach on United Wisconsin Walker Recall Website

OFFICIAL STATEMENT. PLEASE SHARE!

Madison: Early this afternoon, United Wisconsin's website www.unitedwisconsin.com, was the victim of a cyber attack. Our web team reports that this attack was coordinated and deliberate. Clearly this was done to deny the people of Wisconsin access to the materials we are providing for the Walker recall efforts. The attack, what is known as a Distributed Denial of Service Attack, flooded our servers at approximately 2p.m. At this time the source of this attack is not fully known. Despite these efforts to stifle the voice of the people, United Wisconsin and its partners are not shaken. The efforts to recall Scott Walker and Rebecca Kleefisch are continuing as planned.

1. I thought so.
When I tried to get on there was a flash saying "Do not allow Wisconsin ..."(something - it went off before I could read it all). So I figured it was being blocked. But I found the info I was looking for on the Democrats website.

2. Isn't it ironic how Belling was talking about cons not doing
intimidating or rude tactics today?

And I only listen to him because at work that's all I can get. Plus I wanted to hear him get mad about the recall.

5. Have mercy on your soul
I'm open-minded and willing to hear all sides and all, but I gave up listening to him nine years ago.

3. Have you posted this in General Discussion, or one of
the other big forums? If not, please do.

I just came in here to see if it had been posted. My daughter sent the the email about it several hours ago.

Make sure everyone knows. The whole world is watching, Wisconsin!

4. I posted it in Gen Discussion!
I'll bet this is just the start of their tricks. The most frustrating thing is that they get away with this kind of s#!+ all the time! :mad:
