If you tried visiting WikiLeaks late Wednesday evening, you might’ve gotten the impression that the website was hacked. For now at least, that doesn’t appear to be the case.

For some users, wikileaks.org appeared to be defaced. The phrase “OURMINE” was just suddenly there, splashed across a blackground in red and white letters. Above it read, “Hacked by OurMine,” while below the self-described hackers left a message mocking both Julian Assange and Anonymous.

 Hackers Deface WikiLeaks Homepage (But That's About It)

But it doesn’t appear that WikiLeaks itself was actually hacked at all—neither the website nor Assange’s servers containing an endless trove of classified US government documents seem to be compromised. In fact, even while the homepage appeared to be defaced, the site itself remained accessible to those who have weirdly memorized the IP address or otherwise simply knew where to look it up. In a tweet this morning, Wikileaks denied that their servers had been compromised.

There is a fake new story circulating that WikiLeaks servers have been hacked. It is false.
