Wikileaks, the website that allows whistle-blowers to anonymously post documents has been shut down in the US. Although some of its pages, hosted outside of the US, are still available, the main site has been taken offline following a court order against Dynadot, which owns the site’s domain name.

The ruling follows a case brought by Swiss banking group Julius Baer over several posted on the site revealing that the bank was involved with money laundering and tax evasion.

Wikileaks was founded in 2006 by dissidents, journalists, mathematicians and technologists from the US, Taiwan, Europe, Australia and South Africa and has so far published more than 1.2 million documents.

Update

You can still access the original wikileaks site by heading over to http://88.80.13.160/ (via)
