Washington, Dec 6: Amid heavy hacking attacks, the whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks has released more than 355 mirror websites of the original site.

WikiLeaks released the mirror websites, which are the exact copy of original site, to continue the release of the United States diplomatic cables. In case of hacking of the original website, these mirror websites will allow the users to access the site.

"Wikileaks is currently under heavy attack. In order to make it impossible to ever fully remove Wikileaks from the Internet, you will find below a list of mirrors of Wikileaks website and CableGate pages," said WikiLeaks in its website.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has tweeted in his Twitter account that, "now WikiLeaks has more than 355 websites".

WikiLeaks also asked users to create mirror sites using their hosting resources.

"In order to make it impossible to ever fully remove Wikileaks from the Internet, we need your help. If you have a unix-based server which is hosting a website on the Internet and you want to give wikileaks some of your hosting resources, you can help," said WikiLeaks.

WikiLeaks has given the form for creating the mirror site, where users have to submit their IP Address, Login Password, HTML path and Login Name.
