Unprecedented DDoS Attack At Swedish Government, Media Outlets (www.dn.se)

Flu writes: Yesterday, at 19:30 CET, an unprecedented DDOS attack shut down both Swedish government sites and all major news outlets, including www.aftonbladet.se, www.expressen.se, www.svd.se, www.dn.se, www.di.se and others. The attack was announced in advanced in a tweet stating 'The following days attacks against the Swedish government and media spreading false propaganda will be targeted'. A large amount of traffic was detected from Russia. Tension between Russia and Sweden has slowly but steadily intensified during the latest years, causing Swedish relocation of military forces to strategic location and increased cooperation with NATO.

    Here are couple more articles. The level of government sponsored propaganda in Sweden is reaching pretty unprecedented levels and I was wondering what it would take for people to start noticing.

    I still laugh uproariously every time that Assange thing comes up. Here is a man who spent his entire life fantasizing about being a personal enemy of the US government, and he finally got his wish. Then what does he do? Rapes a couple of feminists! Seriously, that's like the first thing in the book of things NOT to do when you're wanted. Stay out of the honey trap! But I suppose hubris isn't just in Greek novels, it's for real. The security services didn't even have to try very hard to nail him. What an idiot.

    The really hilarious part is where the Swedish feminist-written laws gave those women carte blanche to accuse Assange of whatever they wanted. If a woman says she was raped, then that means she was raped. If he would have just kept his dick in his pants, he'd be a free man today.

    There's a level of irony that the confirmation this is the Russian state is the sheer volume of astroturf posts on here.

    Just check the Anonymous Coward posts. It's truly comical.

    That Spiegel link doesn't claim what you (or its headline) claims.
