The US State Department says its website came under cyberattack for a fourth day running as it tried to prevent further attacks.
'I'm just going to speak about our website, the state.gov website. There's not a high volume of attacks. But we're still concerned about it. They are continuing,' State Department spokesman Ian Kelly told reporters on Thursday.
'We are taking measures to deal with this and any potential new attacks,' Kelly added.
According to computer security experts, a dozen US government websites, including those of the White House, Pentagon and State Department, were targeted in a coordinated cyberattack which also struck sites in South Korea.
South Korean lawmakers were quoted as saying on Wednesday that South Korea's intelligence service believes North Korea or its sympathisers may have staged the attack.
But Kelly added: 'I have no information... of North Korean involvement. I have... nothing that I can confirm.'
He said that the site based at the US embassy in Seoul, South Korea was not shut down and was not materially affected by any of these attacks.

So you think it might be a sympathy ploy -- a diversion -- Mrs. Awd.

I don't doubt it. Obama plays the martyr well or he used to. Anymore he's just arrogant.

This is the way he will get legislation passed for the govt to control the internet.

Censorship is the only way he keeps power.
