NFT: Hacker Shuts Down NY Magazine Website With New Cosby Article

gidiefor : Mod : 7/27/2015 12:00 pm
New York Magazine posted the stores of 35 women who are accusing Bill Cosby of sexual assault and a hacker known as Vikingdom2016 shut the site down based on hatred for NY and not the article. New York Magazine says the article was 6 months in the making and the hacker claims there will be data corruption from the attack.

the hacking had nothing to do with the article, this isn't some Cosby apologist

So because of his hate for NYC, he takes down an article on nymag.com?

Yeah, uh, you sure got us buddy.

Definitely sucks for the people that worked on the article, but shit, it's funny that his hatred for NYC manifested itself in something that nearly nobody in NYC would give much of a shit about.

I'll take that over a lot of the alternatives though.
It's not funny

he took down the who website. So NYMag is losing tens of thousands of dollars. And apparently the hacker compromised the email accounts of some journalists. They now need to spend all new money on security.

It's not going to be funny when there is less $$ at the end of the year for raises and bonuses.
