Bush site tightened further
Election day fears
By Nick Farrell: Tuesday 02 November 2004, 08:43
SECURITY at George Bush's election site has been tightened still further against foreign intrusion on the day that citizens of the USA go to the polls.
Last week, we reported how foreign countries, other than Canada, had been banned from perusing the Bush campaign website.
Later it was discovered that you could still see the site from foreign parts if you tapped in the IP address instead of the web address.
However, it seems the Bush administrators are taking no chances and have blocked all access to the site even if you use the IP address. We have also been told that people from Canada have now also been shut out of the site and it looks like today any hacker who has a go at cracking it will have to be American. µ
