NSA's Web Site Rendered Inaccessible
1 hour, 19 minutes ago
WASHINGTON - The Web site for the National Security Agency, which has been under scrutiny over domestic wiretaps it conducted without warrants, was inaccessible for more than seven hours Friday.
A spokesman, Don Weber, declined to say whether the site suffered an attack by hackers or a technical glitch. Speaking shortly after the site went back online, he said only that employees had worked to restore access.
Internet experts at Keynote Systems Inc., which monitors Web traffic around the world, said access to the NSA's Web site by visitors across the United States was severely limited.
"This condition would indicate to me that either the site is being overwhelmed with legitimate users or a (denial of service) attack," said Shawn White, the director for Keynote's external operations.
