Temasek Review Emeritus website got DOS attacked and down .

*** government hacked it .


n late April 2011, Temasek Review survived a distributed denial of service
(DDOS) attack during the height of the 2011 general elections campaign
coverage.[9] The Temasek Review had previously suffered other DDOS attacks,
as part of a pattern of attacks against "two of Singapore’s most popular and
outspoken websites" (the other being the The Online Citizen). These attacks
were, according to The Star, suspected by some to be "possibly by the ruling
party's youth wing".[10] Nevertheless, Temasek Review was recorded by
Experian Hitwise as receiving a significant proportion of internet traffic from
search engines during the campaign.[11]

A creative method of fund raising, put up a page claiming that the site is under construction due to DDOS attacks.

Whisper: A true DDOS attacks would rendered the site to be unreachable, ie. you don't even get to see the under construction page.
