[Infowarrior] - Cryptome.Org shut down by Verio/NTT

[Richard Forno]

(original heads-up from marlowe)

Verio claims cryptome.org violated its TOS, but does not specify exactly
what the violation was or if the site can remedy the situation to avoid
disconnection.

I find this action to be highly-questionable from a customer service
perspective, and thusly can't help wondering "who" (if anyone) got Verio to
underake this action without explanation or path of remedy given how
controversial the site seems to be to various folks around the world.  John
Young (cryptome's owner) wonders if Verio got slapped by a gag-inflicting
National Security Letter or something else along those lines.

(FWIW, at least Verio's given Cryptome a week's notice.)
