Peter Schiff's campaign website has been repeatedly targeted by cyber attackers, his brother and spokesman said this afternoon. The campaign has notified the FBI.
Schiff, a Republican running for U.S. Senate, had planned a "moneybomb'' -- a one-day online fundraising blitz -- for today, but just minutes before midnight, when the moneybomb was set to start, the website went down, his brother, Andrew Schiff, said.
"These are coordinated attacks,'' Andrew Schiff said in a brief phone interview.
It wasn't the first time the website has been hit, Andrew Schiff said. The campaign had been targeted several times in the past and recently upgraded its website.

Who does Dodd know that could pull something like this off?There are other Republicans running, maybe it came from the big government Republican wing.

This has "techno-Democrat Obot" written all over it.
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Does Schiff have a strategy for outreach to social conservatives? Without one ... who exactly is he trying to expand the coaltion to include.

I haven’t been able to get to FR many times recently. What’s causing that? Also, it used to require me to login each new time I posted after being away. Now, I am constantly logged in. Could this change be causing problems?
