Waatea News has been hacked by a cyber attack that has redirected viewers to a gambling site.
This attack comes after Waatea took a stand against the racism of the NZ Herald.
The Daily Blog was attacked several months ago with a similar cyber attack after TDB criticised Israel, China, Russia and hard right NZ interests.
These types of cyber attacks against small NZ Media who are doing nothing other than expressing their rights to free speech is part of an ongoing campaign by malicious actors who want to silence those voices.
TDB stands with Waatea at this time and we hope they can restore access to their site asap.

Red neck river of filth Hodgsons pledge at work .
We have the ability to hack whoever we wish to, using msoft zero day backdoors and vulnerabilities on servers and internet backbone routers, to facilitate targetted black ops against entities of interest.
Since the change of govt, we now have free reign, and we are always watching.
Exactly, but you forgot we do it to keep you safe.
Oh dear, how sad, never mind.
one of these: Red neck river of filth Hodgsons pledge at work?
Hobsons NOT Hodgsons – dang
Martyn – That’s not on…Waatea provides a different point of view, which is needed within the media.
Hacking seems to be a thing with this far-right racist govt even hacking into AU-ENZB history books which is now excluded for public consumption unless you’re a university personnel apparent with a email I received from them the other day.
Must of hit a nerve only time will tell?

Kia ora, Stephen.
I’ve been given the following bulletin from the University of Auckland Libraries team – it looks like the change which restricted your access happened yesterday in response to increasing cyberattacks on our collections.
“B-engine and SuperIndex digitised collections no longer available to non-UoA users
Recently there has been a massive increase in cyberattacks on tertiary institutions, including Waipapa Taumata Rau |University of Auckland, which constitute a huge security risk to the University operations.
In response, the university IT services have increased security and access restrictions to systems all over the University, including our library digital collections.
This change to access to Early New Zealand Books was an unplanned but necessary response to an urgent security risk.
We have been assessing our options and unfortunately the rather elderly platform that currently hosts the digitised content, cannot be fixed in a manner that enables public access to the digital content while remaining secure against cyberattacks.
Staff and students of the University can continue to access the content using the university’s verification systems, and other users can request content via inter-library loan from their local library.
Migration of the content to a new platform, wherever that might be, will be a significant project and thus we cannot yet provide a timeline as to when the content will again be openly available to the people of Aotearoa and the Pacific.
We are happy to keep you informed about progress as we know more, but it is likely to be a project across 2024-25.”
Really sorry about this – you might need to request content via your local public library until the content is migrated. Feel free to get back in touch with us to check up on the progress of getting it accessible to the public again but it sounds like it won’t be until next year.
Kind regards,

User phoned Evita from SSC saying he was now getting an Access Restricted message when attempting to visit Early New Zealand Books (https://www.enzb.auckland.ac.nz/) which he had previously been able to do so ~two weeks ago.
Phoned Stephen, remoted in – could not access ENZB in private windows / different browsers. I was able to access it incognito on-campus; tested with off-site staff who could only visit it when using the VPN.
Ngā mihi nui,

Reached my threshold for ‘Maori Wonderfulness’ fucking ages ago but hacking their website pretty childish.
JB, Reached my threshold for ‘pakeha Wonderfulness’ fucking ages ago
Fair enough – difference is that no one is trying to ram it down your throat every god damned day.
Whose ramming it down your throat everyday??? Talking fucken shit again the only cunts that have been ramming shit down peoples throats is “PAKEHA”
All those far right hackers like China and North Korea.
Do tell.
