The Web portal Lycos reported that "Al-Jazeera" and
variant spellings became its top search term last week,
with three times more searches than "sex."[snip]
Hackers also homed in on Al-Jazeera, bringing down its
Web site early last week in what the Web host called an
attack characterized by a flood of bogus traffic. Hackers calling themselves the "Freedom Cyber Force
Militia" later diverted visitors to the English site to
a page with a U.S. flag. The managing editor of Al-Jazeera's English site, Joanne
Tucker, said it would be back up by Wednesday and that
steps were being taken to make the Web pages impervious
to hacking attempts.Reggie Bautista
