One America News is currently undergoing a cyberattack, resulting in a "302 Bad Gateway" screen. See comment.

My IT source's explanation:

"There is an active cyberattack and the media is refusing to cover it. Mostly DDoS. No real damage to servers, just inability to handle traffic to legit users. OANN is operated by Herring Networks Inc. All of their servers are under attack."

[Fido969]

The great censorship is in full bloom.

The idiot black football player Tweeted that he can’t deal with his coach wearing an OAN T-Shirt...

DOJ will do nothing and continue masturbate to fantasies of removing/defeating Trump.

Log all the DOS packets for future forensics. Data-mine the logs for the largest aggregate packet senders. Have your lawyers send them lawsuits for civil damages.

Even if they claim they are innocent or unwitting victims of a server hijack, they, and their service provider should have recognized the massive insecure traffic and mitigated it. Lack of security on high bandwidth servers is no excuse.

A Canadian half breed at that.

>>>“Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other views.” ― William F. Buckley<<< Maybe yesterday's Liberals. Today's Liberals don't claim to want to give a hearing to other views. They want to kill you if you have an opposing view.

Bkmrk.

Can OAN IT department point incoming traffic to CNN for a while?

[upchuck]

1:24pm EST, OAN is back.

[z3n]

HAHAHAHA!

Legally, I wouldn’t, but I think you’d just need to change your DNS zones records to redirect to CNN’s. You wouldn’t do it at the TLD level though because that wouldn’t take effect fast enough.

The clever thing about your trick is that you’d be forcing all of the attacker’s traffic into CNN. Though I suspect CNN’s site has a larger bandwidth capactity than OANs

[Sgt_Schultze]

Haha! You discerned my plot.

Maybe there's a more deserving target for a re-directed DDoS attack, since it's likely always coming from extremist leftists, maybe the BLM website, or the clinton foundation, or Soros' open society, or some other favored leftist online presence.

anyway, just ruminating

The internet in general has been screwy the past couple of days. I think China is about to throw a hissy fit.

[Bob434]

the hateful liberal book burners are out in full force these days- How long before they start burning people too?

[jeffc]

Legally? Nothing will happen to the Denial of Service attackers. Why should anything happen to OAN?

Other than Leftist government apparatchiks being offended by their own tactics being used against them...

[CathyWhite]

I suspect Paul Ryan is behind this.

[Jane Long]

Have been watching OANN, most of the morning, without any interruptions....nor have they mentioned anything about being ‘under a cyber attack’.
