Indymedia servers seized by the FBI last week for reasons unknown have been returned |
The Indymedia servers seized last week by the FBI for reasons unknown have apparently been returned to Rackspace, Indymedia's UK-based web host.
According to Argentina Indymedia:
A Rackspace employee stated, "I was just told that the court order is being complied with and your servers in London will be online at 5pm GMT. I will pass along anymore information that becomes available and that I am allowed to."
It has been verified that the returned hard-drives are the originals, but the circumstances of the seizure still remain unclear: who took them, why were they taken, and under which court order? Indymedia is not aware as to whether Rackspace is still under gag order.
The hard-drives will be treated as "hacked" (compromised) and as a result there will be delays in restoring the sites that are still down.
