The website of Swedish Ship to Gaza [the site was still down at time of posting] has been subjected to a cyber attack, in the latest setback to befall the aid and protest convoy the Freedom Flotilla II.
The group were forced to shut down their website on Friday after a so-called overload attack which forced their server company to pull the plug.
"Since Friday morning our server supplier has been under attack, which means that our website is down. We can't say for sure if it is directed against us, but it is obviously an advanced attack," Ship to Gaza wrote in a statement.
The organisation shifted their information feed to a temporary blog and are considering whether to report the matter to the police, while they sought to play down the impact of the attack.
"The effects of the attack were not those desired," Ship to Gaza press spokesperson Mikael Löfgren told the TT news agency. more
