Jihad Watch ‘most-attacked site on Internet’
Robert Spencer says his Jihad Watch website, which documents the global threat of Islamic supremacism, is one of the world’s most-attacked websites.
He cites a letter from the chief technical officer of the Internet security firm Sucuri, which is tasked with protecting the Jihad Watch site.
“Here at Sucuri, we protect thousands of websites through our enterprise Website Firewall,” said Daniel Cid. “One of the most disruptive attacks we see are known as Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. These attacks are designed to disrupt the service and take down a website by overloading it with fake requests and make it inaccessible to everyone else.”
Cid said Jihad Watch is “one of those thousands of websites we help protect, and by far the most attacked we have in our network.”
“It is targeted daily, by massive and large scale DDoS attempts that exceed 100Gbps of traffic on most days,” he said.
“What is interesting is that DDoS attacks usually last for a few hours, up to days and go away. However, Jihad Watch has been under multiple, daily attacks, for more than a year (ranging from distributed advanced SYN floods, HTTP GET requests, DNS/SSDP/NTP amplification attacks and many others).”
Spencer wrote that the “fact that Jihad Watch has now made the top spot of most cyber-attacked sites being protected by Sucuri (an industry leader in website security) vividly demonstrates that what we say is otherwise unassailable, and that the enemies of freedom are desperate – and as thuggish on the Net as they are in the real world.”
“It is the only response our enemies can use against the site, as they cannot refute what we say on the facts. They know what we say is true, and they hate that. In their authoritarianism and intellectual bankruptcy, they resort to trying to silence us,” Spencer wrote.
“Islamic supremacists and leftists always try to silence truth-tellers, as evidenced by their fabrication and use of the propaganda smear term ‘Islamophobe,’ and by their attacking a free-speech event with AK47s.”

Jihad watch has always been a reliable information site. Things are not getting better though, unless it is that more people are taking stands against the lies of the left and Islamist hate spew and they don’t care anymore what they are called for standing on the truth. This is most noticeable considering only ten years ago there were few that would befriend anyone who spoke the truth and buried the leftist pro Islamic killer kiss with reality. I see many people shedding the leftist death garb and smelling fresh air again…thanks to the likes of Jihad watch for standing tall and always honest! Though did anyone notice how militant the left has become…lets’ say maybe aggressive militant???
