According to the
New
York Times:
In a move sure to complicate the efforts of Al Jazeera, the Arabic news
network, to get its
English-language Web site running, Akamai
Technologies abruptly canceled a contract on Wednesday to provide Web
services for the site.
... "Basically this was our answer to the hacking that has been nonstop and pretty aggressive," [Al Jazeera's online English editor] said. "We had a done-and-dusted deal on March 28. Then yesterday, we get a letter from them terminating the contract." Al Jazeera has been struggling to stay online in the face of persistent attacks from hackers intent on silencing them. Now Akamai abandons their customer right when they are most needed. Craven. |
