<p>WikiLeaks&#8217; domain name system provider says it has withdrawn service to the wikileaks.org name after apparent attacks on its website.</p>
<p>EveryDNS says it dropped the website late on Thursday after it became the &#8220;target of multiple distributed denial of service attacks&#8221;.</p>
<p>The American provider &#8211; which offers access to 500,000 websites &#8211; said in a statement that it dropped the site because the hacker attacks threatened the rest of its network.</p>
<p>&#8220;Wikileaks.org has become the target of multiple distributed denial of service attacks. These attacks have, and future attacks would, threaten the stability of the EveryDNS.net infrastructure,&#8221; it said in a statement. </p>
<p>WikiLeaks confirmed the drop on its Twitter account, saying: &#8220;WikiLeaks.org domain killed by US everydns.net after claimed mass attacks.&#8221;</p>
<p>WikiLeaks has angered the US and other governments by publishing almost half a million secret documents about the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The latest batch contains thousands of classified US diplomatic cables.</p>
<p>On Wednesday, Amazon &#8211; which had provided WikiLeaks with use of its servers to distribute embarrassing State Department communications and other documents &#8211; evicted it. The site remains on servers of a Swedish host, Bahnhof.</p>
<p>US senator Joe Lieberman praised Amazon&#8217;s action and said it should &#8220;set the standard&#8221; for companies WikiLeaks is using to distribute &#8220;illegally seized material&#8221;.</p>
<p>WikiLeaks responded to the move from EveryDNS by moving to a Swiss domain name, wikileaks.ch.</p>
<p>The founder of WikiLeaks, 39-year old Australian Julian Assange, has been out of sight for nearly a month, while Sweden has issued a Europe-wide arrest warrant for him over allegations of rape, sexual molestation and unlawful coercion. He may also face US prosecution on spying charges. </p>
