FPÖ-Website unter Beschuss
Seit mehr als 36 Stunden wird die Website der FPÖ durch enormen Verkehr in die Knie gezwungen. Seiten werden dadurch unvollständig oder gar nicht angezeigt, teilweise löst sich die Site beim Durchklicken ganz auf.

Im Zehnminutenschnitt sind es immer noch 40.000, das sei "schon relativ hoch für normalen Datenverkehr", ist aus der FPÖ-Zentrale zu hören.
