Newsweek Website Attacked After Report On Trump, Cuban Embargo (talkingpointsmemo.com)
After Newsweek published a report titled "How Donald Trump's Company Violated The United States Embargo Against Cuba," the site found itself on the receiving end of a "massive" denial-of-service attack that managed to shut down the site for several hours. TPM reports: Editor-In-Chief Jim Impoco noted that the attack came as the story earned national attention. "Last night we were on the receiving end of what our IT chief called a 'massive' DoS (denial of service) attack," Impoco wrote in an email to TPM. "The site was down most of last evening, at a time when Kurt Eichenwald's story detailing how Donald Trump's company broke the law by violating the U.S. trade embargo against Cuba was being covered extensively by prominent cable news programs. Our IT team is still investigating the hack." Later Friday afternoon, Impoco emailed TPM that in an initial investigation, the "main" IP addresses linked to the attack were found to be Russian. It should be noted that it is possible to fake an IP address. "As with any DDoS attack, there are lots of IP addresses, but the main ones are Russian, though that in itself does not prove anything," he wrote. "We are still investigating." Eichenwald tweeted Friday morning: "News: The reason ppl couldnt read #TrumpInCuba piece late yesterday is that hackers launched a major attack on Newsweek after it was posted."
That IRS thing was determined to be non partisan after all. There was an increase in enforcement of 501c3 orgs, but it happened more or less equally to both sides.
You don't seem to understand. It's bad to say Islam causes terrorism because not all Muslims are terrorists. It's good to say all Trump supporters are authoritarian, fascist bootlickers because some Trump supporters are authoritarian, fascist bootlickers.
Also, it's not a double standard when your ideology is actually the one favored by the universe itself, possessed and composed of only truth and fact. For the Trump supporters out there, that means the modern American Progressive movement is based entirely on truth and fact, and it is the only ideology which is so comprised.
Suck it, conservative scum, the left is TRUTH, the left is FACT, the left is LOVE. I hope you all die horrible deaths at the hands of those you hate so much.
