US Federal Judge Takes Wikileaks.org Down

A controversial website that allows whistle-blowers to anonymously post government and corporate documents has been taken offline in the US.
Wikileaks.org, as it is known, was cut off from the internet following a California court ruling, the site says.


The case was brought by a Swiss bank after “several hundred” documents were posted about its offshore activities.


Other versions of the pages, hosted in countries such as Belgium and India, can still be accessed.


Wikileaks, in case you’ve never heard of it, has been gaining profile as the place to put information that someone is trying to keep under cover:


The site was founded in 2006 by dissidents, journalists, mathematicians and technologists from the US, Taiwan, Europe, Australia and South Africa.


It so far claims to have published more than 1.2 million documents.
