The WikiLeaks website is up and running again after a cyber attack, Reuters reports.

The cyber attack crashed the website right before it published tens of thousands of once-secret State Department cables — some with the names of diplomatic sources still visible.

Wikileaks is Tweeting this afternoon that even though the site is back up, many users still can’t access the new documents. WikiLeaks says visitors should use mirror sites to read the new documents.

No one is claiming responsibility for the attack.
