Wikileaks, the anonymous whistle-blower website, has been faced with a legal
injunction to be taken down by orders of US District Judge Jeffrey White. The
website, which is devoted to battle against web censorship and for anonymity,
published documents proving that a Swiss Bank - the Julius Baer Bank and
Trust - engaged somewhat in money laundering and tax evasion via the Cayman
Islands [Download Documents]. More reports: Slashdot | Wired | The
Register .
If the bank tried to protect its reputation, it certainly backfired:
Newsoutlets from all over the world report on the attempt to lock down the
site with DDOS attacks and threat to its dns record. Wikileaks importance was
proven recently when it leaked documents about conditions in prisons in Iraq
and Guantanamo.
