WikiLeaks has indicated that a series of distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks against its website means many new emails from Clinton\u2019s campaign chair have been unreadable online.<\/p>\n
The controversial media outlet released the 35th tranche of hacked documents from John Podesta\u2019s Gmail account on Tuesday. It brings the total number in the Podesta series to 58,375.<\/p>\n
However, a number of the leaked emails have been displaying an \u201cInternal Server Error\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n @wikileaks<\/a> I tried to read the email “Taxes on the middle class” and got a server error :(<\/p>\n \u2014 Julie Pickens (@JuliePickens) November 8, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n WikiLeaks later responded to queries about the \u2018error\u2019 messages and blamed \u201cunrelenting\u201d<\/em> DDoS attacks over the course of the past 24 hours.<\/p>\n The site had said Monday that it was suffering a major targeted DoS attack after releasing a second batch of emails from key members of the Democratic National Committee.<\/p>\n Tuesday\u2019s Podesta email leaks come as US citizens go to the polls to elect their 45th president \u2013 and on the back of Julian Assange\u2019s assertion that WikiLeaks has been under \u201cenormous pressure\u201d<\/em> to stop publishing Clinton campaign material.<\/p>\n \u201cThat pressure has come from the campaign\u2019s allies, including the Obama administration, and from liberals who are anxious about who will be elected US President,\u201d<\/em> Assange said in an online statement.<\/p>\n Assange added that it was important to remind people why WikiLeaks has released the Podesta emails.<\/p>\n \u201cThe right to receive and impart true information is the guiding principle of WikiLeaks \u2013 an organization that has a staff and organizational mission far beyond myself.
