At approximately the same time WikiLeaks alerted its Twitter followers to the DDoS attack, "Jester," a self-proclaimed "hacktivist for good," sent this message from his Twitter account: @th3j35t3r (Jester) www.wikileaks.org- TANGO DOWN - INDEFINITLEY - for threatening the lives of our troops and 'other assets'
