The corporate and media sites of The New York Times (NYT) were experiencing a cyber attack on Wednesday afternoon, according to a source close to the matter.

The source, who asked not to be named due to the sensitive nature of the issue, said the newspaper has been huddling with outside security professionals to assess the threat.

Hmmm.

[Izzy Dunne]

Must be those wascally wepubwicans, out on summah bweak.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Why hack a web site that NO ONE reads

[Mannaggia l'America]

Electronic Arkancide, for that piece critical of the Clinton Foundation.

NYT: The Clinoton Foundation annual budget always shows that it is millions in debt while many more millions are being received in donations. The Clintons are thugs and obviously care not where they get their money. NYT getting hacked due to raising question thus exposing the slick and the hildahag for possibly stealing millions from the Clinton Foundation. There is no low too low to which these two would not stoop.

The NYT writers who exposed the latest Clintoon racket will be fortunate not to be found dead in an unfortunate suicide (Vince Foster) or killed in a plane crash (Ron Brown’s body lies moldering in the grave) or run off the highway in an unexplained car crash (several of those) or dead in prison (Jim McDougal). Look up a list of “trusted Clinton friends and advisors” who wound up dead during his administration.

Sniff Whimper Sniff sniff...that is terrible.

Very instructive:

If the media QUESTIONS AUTHORITY then they are ATTACKED.

Very, very interesting lesson.

Support authority = carrot

Question authority = stick

CLINTON MESSAGE: YOU **WILL** OBEY US.

[Digger]

One criticism of the liberal elites & you pay the consequences. It's time to send the NY Crimes board to the Gulag. That's how we do it here.

[CincyRichieRich]

BS alert.

Clinton story on the same day? Come on, even Boehner could figure this one out.

[KosmicKitty]

User side error would imply a DDoS attack to me.

Clog the site with some much bogus traffic that legitimate traffic can’t get thru or the server overloads and crashes

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

They didn’t find the writer of the Clintoon Foundation article in Fort Marcy Park, did they?
