From the Las Vegas Sun: Because of a cyber attack, lasvegassun.com and its online sister publications vegasinc.com and lasvegasweekly.com are not functioning as usual.
For
several hours overnight, some users may have been unable to access the
sites. Also during those hours, visitors who were able to gain access
would have noticed that content hadn't been updated in some cases.
Those
issues have been resolved, but for several more hours some users may
experience a problem with our sites as new address information
propagates across the Internet. If you try to access lasvegassun.com, lasvegasweekly.com, vegasinc.com or vegasdeluxe.com
and wind up at a different one of these four than you expect (for
example, you try to go to the Sun site and wind up at the Weekly site),
this is the result of incorrect site address information on the
Internet. We are working to remedy this situation as soon as possible.
Greenspun
Media Group, which operates the sites, is working to return site
operations to normal. We're also pursuing more details about the attack
and will report more information as it becomes available. http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2012/nov/24/attack-disrupts-las-vegas-sun-website-work-under-w/
It makes me happy that this happened because the Sun and especially the editor, Brian "Coward" Greenspun is a vile and mean creature. The creature has many enemies and so it could have been anyone.
So, to the cyber attackers: Cheers and well done.
Surber the Genius!!
