      Für DOS-Attacken gibt es nach wie vor keinen direkten  
Nachweis, viel eher scheint eine falsch angegebene  
Cryptome-URL beim unsäglichen Matt Drudge, viel Verkehr  
und daraus resultierende 404er zum Downing von Cryptome  
geführt haben: galoppierendes Kyber/Koffer/tum.

JYA and Cryptome continue to be nearly inaccessible for  
unknown reasons. Our ISP, Digital Nation, assures that the  
problem is due to overload of our under-powered dedicated  
server. So we have rented an under-power-plus server at  
twice the cost. And are currently migrating files to it and  
modifying DNS records. The sites should be fully operational  
in a day or so. New IPs when activated:  
 
JYA 216.167.120.49 Cryptome 216.167.120.50 
 
Some investigators believe the sites have been, and continue  
to be, under DDOS or DOS attack. We have obtained 113MB  
log files for each site, up 10-fold since July 21. Once we  
figure out how to open them we will assess the hits for clues  
to our nemeses -- which may well be ourselves for being  
unequipped for demand for fast freed secrets. When wiser  
minds identify the problem we'll report it. 
 
We have mixed feelings about Drudge sending us thousands  
of visitors armed with a munged URL, and producing a torrent  
of error messages which appear to be a prime cause of the  
bulging log files. Monica warned: beware of Drudge's DOS.
