U.S.-Based Chinese Dissident Website DDoS'd Again - And Joe-Jobbed?

Via UPI.

A U.S.-based Web site that hosts Chinese dissidents' blogs is being hacked again, days after an attack took it offline and nearly destroyed its archives.

The Web site, Boxun.com, which hosts some 2000 blogs, was the target of a "very strong" distributed denial of service, or DDOS, attack last week, its editor, Watson Meng, told United Press International.

He added that hackers probing the Web sites of several U.S. government agencies had "spoofed" or forged their Internet addresses to make it seem as if the probes came from his site.

"Our service provider received complaints from a number of government agencies," he said.
