WikiLeaks Changes Domain Name After Cyber Attacks

The domain name is currently inaccessible. However, the site is still available through the url:http://46.59.1.2/. Also, WikiLeaks has said it had registered its new domain name in Switzerland.
The action by EveryDNS, which provides around 500,000 Web sites, followed a decision on Wednesday by Amazon.com Inc. to expel WikiLeaks, the whistle-blowing organization, from its servers, although it remains on the servers of a Swedish host, Bahnhof, as it continues to anger the United States by publicizing a huge array of some 250,000 leaked State Department documents relating to American foreign policy around the globe.
