(Los Angeles, 9/5/02) Hatred knows no bounds. For several hours, access to
the servers which hosts the IslamiCity web site was disrupted by a "denial
of service attack". No data was compromised during this attack. IslamiCity
technical team is investigating the source of attack and worked tirelessly
to secure all communication lines and servers. Earlier attacks were found to
have originated from Tel Aviv which were reported to the appropriate law
enforcement agencies.
IslamiCity condemns this action and believe that such attacks undermine the
opportunity to enhance awareness and knowledge leading to a better
understanding of people, faiths and cultures.
We recommend Muslim website operators to be alert and carefully monitor all
activity. Any spikes in traffic or bandwidth utilization should be carefully
looked into and recorded. Any type of threat should be reported immediately
to FBI to be investigated as potential hate-crime. We also request you to
share any abnormal activity (at your site) with IslamiCity. Sharing of
information will help locate the perpetrators.
IslamiCity may arguably be the largest Islamic website in cyberspace serving
more than 2 million visitors each month that log over 50 million hits. The
current IslamiCity servers have a total disk capacity of over 500GB.
Recently, people of other faiths embracing Islam at IslamiCity has increased
many folds.
IslamiCity operates from the support of its online community. We ask you to
strengthen our common struggle to disseminate the message of Truth. Your
assistance is a perpetual contribution towards the understanding of Islam in
the West and also a resounding response to those who like to silence the
voice of Islam in cyberspace.
In the coming days, we will be forced to further upgrade our Internet
Security infrastructure against such attacks. If you are willing to help
call us at 310-642-0006, ext. 202 or email at donate@islamicity.com.
Contact: Mohammed Abdul Aleem, CEO. Media@IslamiCity.com or 310-642-0006,
