NH State Website Knocked Out

Company that hosts site dealing with "distributed denial of service" attack on its servers

New Hampshire's state government website was inaccessible to some users for several hours because the outside company that hosts it was dealing with another "distributed denial of service" attack on its servers.

The governor's office says the main state government website, nh.gov, and websites for at least several state agencies were disrupted Thursday morning.

On March 23, the state's tourism website, visitnh.gov, was briefly inaccessible for the same reason.

State officials and others are working to determine more details about what caused the problem, but say no information was compromised.
