| Haganah Takes Down 15 Jihadi Sites - Way to go Aaron!! |
| 2004-05-13 |
| For two years now we have been herding the most noxious of jihadist websites out of the USA, then out of Europe, and one by one they ended up being hosted by webserver.com.my, aka Acme Commerce. Many of these sites are clearly linked to the world’s leading terrorist organizations, most notably Al Qaida and Hamas. And each time another site would take up residence at that one datacenter in Malaysia, people would say to me: "So now what do we do, Aaron?" And all along I’ve said the following: All this does is create a single point of failure. One of these days the Malaysians will want to get out of the business of hosting these sites, and then a whole lot of jihadi webmasters are going be shit out of luck. Well friends, guess what. Acme Commerce wants out. I’m happy to let the comments of Mr. Lim of Acme Commerce, to the effect that they were unaware of these sites until now, pass. I would like to give honorable mention to Malaysian opposition leader Lim Kit Siang, who urged Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi’s government to investigate the possibility that "Malaysia is hosting a master network of international terrorist Web sites." All of these sites were using Acme Commerce’s facilities and were hosted either by Jazzira Net, a possibly London-based Saudi outfit, or by 357hosting of the Netherlands. The latter may have been subleasing server space from Jazzira Net. In the war against terrorist use of the internet, this is a very big moment, and everyone who has contributed to or participated in the pursuit of these sites over the last two years is invited to get up from their seat for a moment and take a bow. |
