WikiLeaks EveryDNS problems
By nick | Thoughts7 Dec 2010
On the 3rd December 2010 American DNS provider EveryDNS decided to drop Wikileaks.org from their systems, leaving any new visitors to the main site, wikileaks.org left in the dark. Now on the 7th December 2010 it still seems that the wikileaks.org domain is pointing to EveryDNS’ servers despite lookups to that domain being dropped by their servers.
