NYTimes page inaccessible, 2. disruption in August.

NEW YORK (AP)-The New York Times ' web site was inaccessible Tuesday afternoon in his second significant disruption this month.

Visitors were able to reach the home page by typing its address, 170.149.168.130, to your Web browser. But the normal way of writing error messages, NYTimes.com directory information changed and led astray. Many links pages also work because it was based on the domain name NYTimes.com. The cause is unknown, but the behavior was in line with the hacker attack.

Times officials immediately return phone and e-mail messages for comment. In the message, Twitter times spokeswoman Eileen Murphy said that the cause was a "malicious, external attack."

Two weeks ago, the Times ' Web site has suffered a loss, which the company blamed on the problem server.
