Dear Michigan, HACK! Love Maryland Dems

The FBI is investigating an apparent attack by hackers that today shut down
the Internet Web site of U.S. Senate candidate Mike Bouchard.

Anyone trying to log on to MikeforMichigan.com gets a message saying
the site was shut down as a result of an attack by hackers.

David All, a spokesman for Bouchard's Republican campaign, said
attackers created a program that resulted in the site being bombarded with
massive requests for information that shut the site down. Workers were trying to
get the site back up but it was unlikely to happen before the polls closed, All
said.
