Due to interest in the Trayvon Martin case & George Zimmerman verdict is overloading the servers for the NAACP site. This could either be the result of many people trying to sign their petition to request the DoJ to look into the matter further or from a DoS/DDoS attack from malicious individuals. NAACP's twitter feed says their site is down, but doesn't specify the reason: https://twitter.com/NAACP/status/356406804038696960 http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/http://www.naacp.org/ Diagnostic report: http://centralops.net/co/DomainDossier.aspx?addr=naacp.org&dom_whois=true&dom_dns=true&traceroute=true&net_whois=true&svc_scan=true Both ICMP & TCP traceroute timesout after 11 hops Tracing route to www.naacp.org [70.42.57.83] over a maximum of 30 hops: 1 2 ms 1 ms 1 ms 192.168.1.254 2 27 ms 24 ms 22 ms xxx.lightspeed.rcsntx.sbcglobal.net [xx.xx.xxx.x] 3 * 25 ms 24 ms 70.143.193.10 4 28 ms 29 ms 31 ms 12.83.80.153 5 23 ms 23 ms 23 ms 12.122.212.9 6 25 ms 24 ms 49 ms 192.205.36.14 7 24 ms 24 ms 24 ms xe-1-1-0.cr2.dfw2.us.above.net [64.125.26.213] 8 30 ms 29 ms 29 ms xe-4-2-0.cr2.iah1.us.above.net [64.125.31.122] 9 57 ms 57 ms 58 ms xe-3-1-0.cr2.dca2.us.above.net [64.125.30.54] 10 68 ms 67 ms 67 ms xe-1-1-0.mpr4.bos2.us.above.net [64.125.24.117] 11 68 ms 67 ms 68 ms xe-0-0-0.mpr3.bos2.us.above.net [64.125.25.61] 12 * * * Request timed out. 13 * * * Request timed out. 14 * * * Request timed out. 15 * * * Request timed out.
