Does Amazon own that server or does it belong to Level 3?
Wikileaks was under a denial of service attack, so had to move their hosting. So far, I haven’t heard any speculation about who might be responsible for the attack. I think the Level 3 servier may be some kind of backup that Amazon uses, but I don’t think it’s their primary.

Amazon described it a “hack-proof” server of their own.
The Jester has claimed responsibility.
