WikiLeaks' US domain host terminated its account last night, making the website inaccessible for the third time in a week ... but it's already back online. EveryDNS, which had hosted the wikileaks.org domain name for 4 years, said the site has become the target of multiple denial-of-service attacks, threatening EveryDNS's infrastructure, Gawker reports.
