Irresponsible, lazy reporting pisses me off. Atilla the Hen and Gerstein have been pimping their bogus DoS attack story on anyone with a steno pad -- with no proof, with no substantiation other than a computer hosting company who says their incoming traffic exceeded their bandwidth (well, duh, it was the day before the election...planning, anyone?!?), and with nothing other than a lot of hot air and finger pointing.
MSNBC has been salivating about the story for the last hour (go Tweety and Noron...way to underreport...). The NYTimes had a bit by a computer reporter yesterday evening. But there is one thing I have yet to see from any of them...
A statement from the Lamont campaign. Why? Because as far as I know, they didn't bother to ask for one. Well, I did -- and look what I found on the Lamont website, already issued and out there for the reading. Here's the official response:
If Senator Lieberman's website was indeed hacked, we had absolutely no part in it, denounce the action, and urge whoever is responsible cease and desist immediately. It is our sincerest wish that everyone planning to vote for Ned Lamont or Joe Lieberman does so today.Tim Tagaris, Internet Communications Director, Ned Lamont for U.S. Senate
Yo, media wankers. Stop being patsies, do your freaking jobs and report on real stories instead of pimping out the Lieberman smarm message of the day. Good lord, do we bloggers have to do everything? Sheesh.
Next time someone calls me an angry blogger, I'm going to point to this example of hack journalism. How many reporters can you count in the above photo of Ned leaving his polling place this morning -- and you are telling me that not one of them bothered to ask him what his position was on this "burning" issue from the latest Lieberman smear job? Pa.the.tic.

Someone with more knowledge than I about the technical intricacies of a DoS attack could contact CNN via their new iReport doohickey here and set them straight:

See my comment on statement from Lamont campaign at bottom of previous thread.
Today, the world watches CT.
How Republican can you get?
They can’t win on merits or issues, so the only thing left is slime and smear.
Go Ned, a democrat for a change.
Okay, so now if Lieberman loses he will have one more illegitimate thing to whine about. He’ll look like that much more of a sore loser.
We should ABSOLUTELY RIDICULE him and his campaign about their efforts to spin this story. Tim T. is taking exactly the right approach, which is, “quit whining Joe, we had nothing to do with your technical problems.”
Bottom line is, if Ned wins today, and Joe whines about this, will anyone care?
*Yawn*
The media doesn’t ask Ned because once they do they’ll have to end their speculations. And we all know how they *love* speculating.
This is what is stupid
Blogger = Hacker
Just because you blog, does not mean you have a clue how to hack.
apropos the Joe2006.com collapse — where the hell is NSA to track down the malefactors?
Today is the first day of the rest of your political life.
This is a big Joementum hail mary.
And it may work. Just on CNN, Joe asked Lamont to “call off his cyberallies”, and announced he was filing a complaint with the state Democratic party chairman.
This, unfortunately, may actually work.
MSNBC talked to someone from the Lamont campaign. She said of course they didn’t do it, and they condemn it, and they hope Joe’s site gets back up as soon as possible.
She didn’t say the other thing she should have said, that this is a Lieberman/MSM smear.
main stream media is no stream. it’s a filthy sewer line.
I think they did this themselves so they could create a MSM hoo-hah about it. Look, if they have access to their host to put up a “lookee, lookee, the evil blogger-hackers did us in and we are real mad” page, then they could have put up a “VoteJoe” page as well. They didn’t. They went for the smear. Par for the course.
Please, CT voters, put Joe in his place today! The nation awaits your courage and conviction.

For those willing to expand their knowledge of denial of service attacks, a good starting point might be Wikipedia:
Denial-of-service attack
Sounds to me like Tweety was trying to get a straight statement from the Lieberman camp. The spokesman was trying to insinuate that the attack was coming from the Lamont campaign, but Matthews kept asking him, “But do you know?”
MSNBC’s computer reporter came on and said the attack could be from anyone, and it could be just one person.
NYT’s bloggy-thingy chimes in:
Joe2006.com Has Crashed, Again

I just sent my report in to this. We’ll see if they use it.
This whole burning issue has a look and feel to it that we have witnessed in other elections. You know seems Rovian in nature. Joe’s always prided himself on being a bipartisan (Grover Norquist’s word that is the equivalent of date rape). Perhaps this is just another example of Joe LieberBush (R-Rubberstamp) in action.
Rovian.
I’ve been watching this play out from thousands of miles away (about 6000 in my case). Just another lurker who’s followed along via FDL, donated to Ned early, etc. So thanks to all of you for all the hard work. I’m nervous and excited like ya’ll. And my only wish (aside from a fist to face meeting with Dickie Goodstein) is that the “after story” narrative sold by the press at least picks up the real reasons behind Nomentum’s ouster. This is not a pacifist, loonie anti war fringe movement. This is about selling out your constituents and your party. Actively cozying up to the opposition and selling “compromise” which has no give and take, only give.
These beltway wackjobs stuck in this angry hippie narrative about Dems from circa ‘68-’73 just piss me off. Buncha lazy, dense, stuck inside a DC fishbowl clowns.
Go NED. Go Jane.
Back to lurker mode.
a DC computer expert on M$NBC said about the Joe2006 that it was an “SQL hack” whereby somebody got into the software machine and wreaked havoc — that’s not a DOS attack and would explain Email still working. One clever hacker anywhere in the world could have done it, not just some crazy US blooger…
katymine @
11
And aren’t hackers secretive? Kind of like the opposite of bloggers?
Bob Sullivan, the MSNBC “expert,” discussed in depth his conversations with the RGJoe campaign, including the fact that the campaign could not email him details of the “attack” but he never never talked about any statement from the Lamont campaign.
This is the Rovianest Democratic campaign I have ever seen. Right outta the playbook, total projection, blogger=hacker, hail Mary pass for later today, confuse TradMed who admit they don’t get it anyway, etc, etc, etc.
RGJoe’s gotta go.
They didn’t pay their bill; there are screenshots on dailykos and other sites.
And it wasn’t the first time.
Yet another attempt by Joe to deflect criticism of his failed policy of Bush Appeasement.
*ilson46201 @ 26
Now this makes the most sense yet. If they exploited the SQL hack then that would just take the site down by itself.
However, a point not made yet in any of this is the sheer total incompetence of the IT staff on the Lieberman campaign and at the site host. Why is this site’s back end not secured tighter than Ft Knox? If they have had repeated attacks, this should have been secured TWO MONTHS AGO!
hamletta!
Haven’t seen you around in forever. How the heck are you?
(Leslie in CA from dKos 1.0)
I am afraid that they are doing their jobs. MSNBC is owned by GE.
Not to be too paranoid, but I also think that the story is being pushed (whatever the source of the actual problem) as part of the rationale for a potential independent run (we didn’t really lose, the voters need to get a real chance whan they aren’t on vacation, etc.)
Best hope he doesn’t run is that he loses by 10-12% or more. The independent run is like a so-called SLAPP suit, an attempt to make speaking out and standing up too often hopelessly expensive for anyone but corporations.
I am optimistic though on this one. Lamont will win and it will help to provide enormous energy for November.
baghdad joe @
14
Ironic, isn’t it? Joe sure as hell didn’t fight this hard in 2000.
I was EPU’d, but it’s not a DoS attack. It just isn’t, because the “account suspended” page loads quickly and easily.
Denial of service means you can’t get anything, so your browser is stuck loading until it gives up. I think it’s more and more likely Lieberman’s campaign or their hosting company deleted the website content and what we’re seeing is a default page of the hosting company.
It is not denial of service. Therefore there are no “cyberallies” doing anything. As Christy said, stop the lazy reporting.
EPU’ed from the last thread:
There are some really, really nasty comments on Ned’s blog on his website, purporting to be from Ned Supporters. Is anyone trying to moderate that?
CNN reporting on it now…
Joe’s money could have employed a hacker to reciprocate.
The power of smear knows few limits. Mud sticks, which is why pols (especially R-pols) throw it. As TRex says, the response should be ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK. “How dare you accuse of hacking Lieberman’s site? How dare you disseminate/publish lies? Where’s your evidence? Slanderers!”
IANACT (I am not a computer technician) but this comment from the NYT BLOG post may hold some clues as to why their website is down again:
Good lord, do we bloggers have to do everything? Sheesh.
Christy gets another *Cheshire smile*
Prediction:
1) Lamont will win, narrowly.
2) Lieberman will claim result is tainted because website “attack” stymied his GOTV. Thus he’ll run as an independent to truly “hear the voice of ALL the people.”
3) Lieberman’s Rove clones ratfucked this, did this DoS attack themselves, to allow 2).
CNN reported on lieberman possibly not paying his web bill
Joe’s trying to give himself some traction for his forthcoming run as an independent, since before this the idea of an independent run just made him look like Sore Loserman.
This way, he can claim he’s trying to give the voters a fair chance, since the kooky Lamont bloggers’ dirty tricks denied him his rightful primary victory.
My $0.02 worth.
Thank G for FDL! I’ve been working too much to do do the long-distance phone bank thing (Lord, I wish I could have) or to post much recently, and am at work till 7:00 EDT today, also. I’m hoping for a slow day - it’s lunchtime now - so I can follow CT. My fingers are crossed (hard to type, but I’m strong), my prayers are said. And I ripped off a quick post on a NYT “blog” posting about the Libersite crash. Most other posters seem to be buying the tale uncritically. Sigh.
That’s all I’ve got.
Gotta go. Been skimming all over the web to catch up - gotta grab some lunch quick quick1 All in CT - you go, firepuppies!
Nah, it’s all good. 95% of the people watching and reading the media don’t have a clue what a DOS hack is, and the people that do have a clue know this is totally bogus, that either the bill didn’t get paid, or the bandwidth of FlyByNightWebHosting was exceeded.
Even the blogger = hacker message goes right by most folks—they still aren’t sure what a blogger is and why people keep talking about them. This shiny object isn’t attracting people’s eyes. They can still see bad government, evil policy decisions, and corruption.
as a loyal American, it’s always cool to blame “furriners” for our ills. Joe’s position on international affairs is not one widely shared worldwide. It is not unreasonable that some “radicals” overseas would see fit to take down Lieberman’s website for today.
We are one world, after all !
Bob Sulivan on MSNBC used the word “virus” and talked about the SQL attack “injecting” one into the RGJoe site by entering a long string of data into a field on a form. I’m just repeating what I heard him say, but does it make sense to you, Fini?
” Good lord, do we bloggers have to do everything? Sheesh.” Just think what a great world this would be if “us bloggers” DID do everything! Christy u rock! FDL rules! go Ned!
Also EPU’d but pertinent to the thread:
BTW and OT, Jody Padgett may not be eligible to run in the primary for Ney’s spot in OH because she had already run in a primary and Ohio has a “no sore loser” rule. More as it develops…
Well, I have about zero knowledge of internet tech things. What strikes me however, is the fact that I have never depended on a candidate’s web site to motivate me to go vote. On election day itself, my mind has always been made up. I never needed to email some candidate for “last minute” clarifications on issues, or so forth. Nor have I ever needed a campaign to email me on Election Day in order to motivate me to go vote. Nor have I ever needed to email a campaign to figure out where my local voting site is located. The local newspapers always run detailed lists of voting locations, and the local county election department will take phone calls for last minute info.
Sorry to hear that somebody’s web site is down…but I just wonder how this at all negatively affects any campaign, including Lieberman.

Fox “News” is reporting this like it’s the scoop of the century. Well, this and the Reuters photo mock controversy.

Please check back soon. It will be available shortly. Thank you.
*ilson46201 @ 26
Email wasn’t working according to the message on the site. So then this SQL hack sounds kinda strange to me. And if some expert in DC already knows, that either screams incompetence on Joe’s IT staff part, or excuses made for him in the MSM.
Christy,
[1] One key to this is the number of phone calls that are coming into the Lieberman HQ’s. If the DOS message were affecting the votes, Joezoe would have to point to phone traffic to confirm it. It cannot be occurring in isolation from phone traffic.
[1.1] Lieberman is saying that his constituents cannot find his phone number on his web site to ask for a ride to the polls.
[1.2] They can’t find a phone book?
[1.3] They can’t call his offices in CT and DC?
[1.4] The number of phone calls into all Lieberman offices confirm whether Joe’s
bullshitstory is accurate or not.[2] This is a very very traceable problem.
[2.1] We can call all those people and find out if they even have a computer.
[2.2] Does their IP ever appear on Joe’s web site. It won’t. This is total bullshit, but it’s very very traceable bullshit and it will all lead back to Joezoe.
[3] It’s also traceable from the host’s side. [3.1] How much traffic had they had?
[3.2] How much traffic were they expecting?
What was the traffic just prior to the DOS messages?
[3.3] What are the IP addresses of the hits they say caused the DOS?
[3.4] What steps is the hosting service taking to solve the problem?
[4] This, it seems to me is the place for some of the election lawyers Ned has to get involved along with Ned’s technical people.
Where is Cujo? Cujo would probably have some good ideas? Maybe *ilson can search for his email in the archives, although *ilson may know more than Cujo about these things.
Finally, Joezoe knows he’s going to lose. This is a desperate attempt to shift the blame for his humiliating loss.
Ned has to handle it though. Ned has to hold Joezoe accountable for his lies. He can do that by faxing questions such as I have outlined and better one’s to Joezoe’s HQ and the host and COPYING these questions to all the darn TM,
especially Tweety, who it sounds like from the comments as though he is in your corner.
Much love to you Christy as you hold down the fort today.
GO NED
This website hacking issue probably doesn’t register with too many of the rank and file voters out there. I imagine it’s a bigger deal for those of us who spend a lot of time in the b’sphere. But it’s just another indication that the Lieberman campaign doesn’t feel very good about itself. They don’t take on Ned in a straightforward way on the issues. They emphasize a lot of extraneous bulllshit stuff that isn’t relevant to the concerns of the voters. Sort of the same modus operandi that the Repugs use as election strategy.
Just be warned: if Lieberman loses and does not run as an independent; moderates protest will be to vote for the Republicans this Fall.
Moveon.org can shove it. You are a tiny minority of the party pushing moderates out and you will never win elections with that policy.

Also, if Lieberman’s campaign really believes that a crashed website could cost them the election, then Joe’s in deep trouble.
This whole ploy reeks of desperation.
TeddySanFran @ 48
Thats how it would be done, however IANAH and can only give you the sysadmin point of view. If you want to corrupt a SQL database holding website files, you would enter code into a form that feeds that database.
Matthews pretty much dismissed the web site thing as a NON issue saying there will be a CLEAR result ; )
62…
Do.Not.Feed.
Quick comment since I’m at work and should not be posting here.
If you look at the website shown on MSNBC you’ll see it points too www.lieberman2006.com and not joe2006.com. That’s a totally different website site and is more than likely a bogus one put up by the Lieberman headquarters.
EllenG @ 17
Karl rove did it in Texas back in the eighties. He bugged his own office and blamed it on the Democratic candidate, Mark White.
When the FBI came to investigate, they found the bug with a short-life battery (12 hours?) still hot, so the bug had been placed THAT DAY!
This is SOP for Rove and his students.
News will anger JL supporters not yet voting.
So everybody here is already convinced that:
Rove hacked Liebermann’s site or Liebermann did it to himself.
My GOD you people actually BELIEVE this junk don’t you? You gotta start getting out of your rooms and back into society.
egregious !
Maybe Joe could ask Ted Stevens to borrow his tubes for today?
So, if I have this right, the same Lieberman who signed on for the 6 week cakewalk in Iraq, is befuddled and feels sabotaged over the fact that his site couldn’t handle traffic right before the primary?
Is he going to have Rice or Bush issue his statement? The one that goes,
I don’t think anyone could have predicted we would need more bandwidth right before the primary.
this is their job, they have been turned into tiny wankettes, and this is important when they have nothing else to be important. Lettuce fear knot, they will be fast on the next account of a dog wearing a liebermont banner around it’s tail and that one of the names is being used under the tail, and the other is not…….
more to come, stay tuned, we have the most respected drivel on teevee
TeddySanFran @ 48
This is complete gibberish. It’s something I’d expect to see in a Hollywood movie about computer attacks (right words put together in a nonsensical way). What is being described is a buffer overflow that exploits an access security hole, if that’s what happened. It’s not some “injected virus”. Sheesh.
By the way, if that is what happened it is destroyed data, not a denial of service attack. As I said. The technical term for this would be defacement.
Cozumel @ 66
Yeah, and he threw a lot of sand on the argument by Smith - prove it or shut up, kinda.

Actually they have a conference in Las Vegas every year (no seriously!). The FBI typically shows up and attends. The main reason they get caught is that they typically have enormous egos, and feel a need to brag incessantly about their exploits. And they tend to be MUCH much younger than the average blogger. Though there are a few old fogey heros amongst them.
This is the more of the same old dirty right wing tricks. They did it to themselves so they will have a better shot in the general election. Their big move for 2006 and 2008 is going to be accusing Democratic of stealing/rigging the election. This is all par for the course with this lot = accuse the other side of doing exactly what you have been doing. Rove 101 !!!!!!
egregious, what great news. So glad the kids — and you — are doing so much better.
very cool.
egregious, great news!! Thanks so much for the update, and blessings on you, everyone working with you, and all the little ones.
Since I was out of town the past few days I wondered if you guys saw this bit of info:
I imagine that the bulk of those new voters are kids like my son’s friends for whom this is their first chance to vote. If we correlate this with the recent poll that showed Bush’s approval rating among 18-24 year olds at 20%, I think we know which way this group will swing.
Anecdotally, my son’s five friends are all voting for Lamont.
Take heart friends. As a baby boomer I’ve always found myself at the head of trends. I say this with no amount of self-aggrandizement merely a peculiarity that has been my life. The trend is our friend. The trend now is Lamont. Lamont will win.
If holy joe was truly concerned about his website, where were his failover systems? Where was his load balancing? Perhaps he subscribes to the Stevens big tube theory….
UptownNYChick @ 73
yes! But wait. They may be clogged with that stuff from Netfix and then the internets can’t get through the tubes fast enough.
neurophius @
15
Same people who bugged Rove’s office way back when did it.
Given the high level of competence shown throughout the entire Lieberman campaign so far — Marion, Dan, Sean, and the College Republicans from Princeton — it’s really amazing that this one part of the campaign (the 21st century part!) unravelled at the last minute.
Chris talking again now about this on MSNBC.
LindyH @ 36
They should put TRex on it. He could delete those comments.
CNN just showed a screen shot of the DailyKos screen capture of the Lieberman web site when it indicated a suspended account and a need to contact the billing department.
Isn’t that the same screen we would see the first time FDL moved and we had bandwidth issues? I vaguely remember that screen and Jane having to wip out her plastic to buy more bandwidth allowance. Isn’t this simply a matter of more people trying to access the site than the site was set up to handle?
puppethead @ 76
Its overexcited civilians who dont know technical issues trying to ’splain-it-all to the viewers at home. However, the issue outlined is something I myself experienced when the Brazilian socialist haxored on my website last year. He got into my SQL files and had some fun, but he at least had the decency to put up a nice cartoon devil with Portugese claiming the hack!
Man, this is right from Rove’s playbook. Remember the bug Rove planted in his own office? Joe’s closer to Bush than we thought …
71 troll
Liz Dupont-Diehl (Lamont spokeswoman) - tremendous statement to Matthews on hack being replayed. Perfect pitch, all light & no heat.
AttaGirl!
Suggested Lamont campaign response for an on-camera interview:
“Wow. Usually, getting a lot of traffic to your website is a good thing.
We have no idea why the Lieberman campaign would accuse us of interfering with their website, we’ve stated so on our website, and denounced the hacking - if that’s what it was. Look, we had no idea why the Lieberman campaign created a fake Lamont bumper sticker, either, but apparently part of their campaign strategy is to falsely attribute things to me and to my campaign, and I would hate to think that this latest accusation was part of that strategy.
As I said, having a lot of traffic to your website is something most candidates encourage, but it looks like the Lieberman campaign is pretty new to this aspect of campaigning, and for all we know it may be that the folks in charge of the website are not aware that you have to have enough bandwidth for the traffic you hope to attract,and if you don’t, it can result in a Denial of Service. It sure would be unfortunate if this were the real reason for the problems they have been experiencing.”
Lamont should take his site down until Joey can get his bill paid. As a sign of good faith and make it publicly known.
At this point, I dont think a website is gonna make much difference either way.
B. Muse @ 91
Well, I am certainly no techie, but that’s what it sounds like to me from the available evidence. The campaign didn’t buy enough bandwith and either a) is too incompetent to realize that’s the problem, or b) knows it’s the real problem but is pretending it’s a hack. Given this bunch, either one could be true.
If Ted Stevens’ toobs are blocked, maybe Lieberman could use his trucks…
Fasten your seat-belts folks, first loop of the day!
If this Lamont stuff keeps up….what’s next?
Democracy?
Responsibility?
Accountability?
My God!
Think of the children…
Vote Joe, before it’s too late.
Please check my comment at #68
It’s sort of funny when you think about it.
You know what else will be funny?
“We now go to Fox News analyst and former Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman…”
The DOS attack probably comes from the same playbook as that over-the-transom bait video to the Gore campaign in 2000.
These people are [metaphorically] walking around gripping their collective neck crying “WHIPLASH!!!”
If this seems a little too close to incorrectitude call it a Traveler’s-type slip-n’-fall.
Is Chris Matthews bi-polar? You don’t from one show to the next what view he will put out. Chris goes from the “manly man prez that ‘everyone’ kinda likes” theme & the “Tom Delay, you live modestly” interview to occasional on target reporting. His rant on Imus & other recent war & Lieberman criticisms have been more frequent lately. Does this mean msm sees political winds changing, therefore it’s safer to be less obsequious to adm or did Chris have his meds changed?
Teddy,
Left you a “thank you” at bottom of last thread.
Hey, www.leiberman2006.com points at dKos right now. Has it always? Or is this another hackjob going on?
If it is, cut it out!
Does a candidate reasonably sure his “momentum” is going to carry the day resort to this sort of whining and accusing?
newtonusr @ 95
Sean Smith said “suppressive”! He sounds like Tom Cruise!
beth meacham @ 107
Here it comes!
Anne 96 - I like.
I also like, “We feel very badly for the problems Sen. Lieberman is having. Luckily Ned, being a businessman, planned for plenty of bandwidth for his site.”
twolf1, I really like your idea above.
It may not be feasilbe. Ned may really be dependent on it for driving his gotv efforts, but I really like the idea.
Lieberman is playing victim and blaming a Democrat for something he himself neglected–more proof that Lieberman is more republican than democrat.
B. Muse–
This is from the letter from the Lieberman web-site host:
“The screen that showed yesterday is a default image from the server.”
So, yes, it is a common default screen which I do recall being on fdl at the transition as well. What is interesting is that Smith pointed to THAT SCREEN as the work of the “hackers”. Somebody, he said, put up a false message and that must be inferred as Lamont supporters. His own web host had already informed him that was NOT the case in the same email he assured the Lieberhose camp they had paid their bill.
This shit is SO weak.
Samuri Sam
“You know what else will be funny?
“We now go to Fox News analyst and former Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman…” “
Actually, Sam, that would not be funny, because they would be presenting Lieberman as the sole spokesperson for the entire Democratic Party, and presenting his views as representative of that.
