LONDON (AP) - President Bush's campaign Web site was inaccessible to surfers outside the United States and Canada after a series of outages last week that may have been electronic attacks.
The site, www.georgewbush.com, "appears to be rejecting visitors from most points outside the United States, while allowing access from U.S. locations," said Netcraft, a British Internet monitoring company.
Attempts to access the site by Associated Press reporters in Europe, Mexico and the Middle East were unsuccessful on Wednesday.
Both the Bush site and the site of the Republican National Committee, www.rnc.org,We can't say precisely, except that it seems to be a decision by the maintainers of the Web site," Rich Miller, an analyst at Netcraft, said in a telephone interview.
Netcraft said it monitors Web site response times from four locations within the United States and three in other countries.
"Since Monday morning, requests to georgewbush.com from stations in London, Amsterdam and Sydney, Australia have failed, while the four U.S. monitoring stations show no performance problems. Web users in Canada report they are able to visit the site," Netcraft said.
