Wikipedia Temporarily Taken Down by DDoS Cyberattack

The Wikimedia Foundation unsurprisingly condemned DDoS attacks, claiming that:

'Attacks on Freedom of Information Are Displayed to a Fundamental Human Right'

"Denial of Service (DoS; engl. Für"Verweigerung des Dienstes") bezeichnet in der Informationstechnik die Nichtverfügbarkeit eines Internetdienstes, der eigentlich verfügbar sein sollte. 1/3

Wikipedia had fallen victim to a cyberattack now, with the Wikimedia Foundation phoning it that a dispersed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack.
