indymedia.org technical problems
marker | 07.08.2009 13:01 | Indymedia
There is a serious problem with the DNS system used by most indmedia sites and services at the moment. It isn't yet clear whether this is a result of a mistake, breakdown or mischief but people are working on it. This effects all websites, mailing lists and other services using the ".indymedia.org" domain.
Indymedia is down due to the primary nameservers being changed from NS2.RISEUP.NET and NS.LACKOF.ORG to NS1.BADWHOISSHUTDOWN.COM and NS2.BADWHOISSHUTDOWN.COM. People are presently investigating this change, however it is probably related to an ICANN whois data "inaccuracy" report (which, unfortunately, is a known tool that trolls have successfully used in the past to get sites they don't like taken down).
