Gay Porn Site Webmaster Claims LDS Church Targeted MormonBoyz.Com With A Denial-Of-Service Attack. LOL!

The proprietor of a gay porn website is claiming that the LDS Church recently launched a DoS (denial of service) attack on his website. Paul Jackson, the owner of MormonBoyz.com (will not hotlink it) who once attended BYU-Provo, claims the attack took place on Sunday August 4rd, 2013.

However, Jackson offers only uncorroborated circumstantial evidence. He says his investigation revealed that the IP address of the servers implementing the attack could be traced to the ZIP code 84150, or downtown Salt Lake City where the LDS Church Offices Building, Temple Square and the LDS Conference Center are located. Of course, that does not constitute proof; not only are there other servers belonging to other entities in the area, but it's possible the LDS Church uses a dynamic IP scheme, meaning IPs can change regularly. Furthermore, the LDS Church Offices Building is closed on Sunday. It is also possible that a third party may have spoofed the LDS Church's IP. So perhaps Jackson's accusation represents masochistic wishful thinking on his part. The LDS Church has refused to dignify this ludicrous accusation with a response so far. QSaltLake offers more detail and claims that the 84150 ZIP code only contains the blocks of Temple Square, the LDS Church Office Building and the LDS Conference Center, but that still doesn't mean there couldn't be other servers belonging to other entities in the area. Note: Frank Pellett, a Utah resident, confirms that the 84150 zip code does contain only those three blocks (which has no residential space), but also mentions that it's impossible to trace an IP to a specific zip code.

MormonBoyz.com purports to showcase "beautiful young Mormon boys". Parodying an authentically religious site, MormonBoyz is reportedly rife with Biblical imagery and young men wearing traditional Mormon undergarments.

Thanks for the clarification. I guess the sheer volume of mail generated by Church HQ warranted the assignment of its own dedicated zip code.
