Hacker Takes Down NY Mag Website Because He Hates New York
New York Magazine‘s website was down Monday following an attack from a hacker who hates New York.
According to the Daily Dot, a hacker calling himself the ThreatKing launched a DDoS attack early Monday morning primarily because the magazine is named after a city with “many stupid people.”
ThreatKing said his hatred of New York City is based on a visit to the city gone wrong. “I went to new York 2 months ago. It was really bad,” ThreatKing said. “Someone pranked me. Everyone started laughing and shit. The first 10 hours being there. Some African-American tried to prank me with a fake hand gun.”
That’s why, he said, he “[wants] to see people die at [sic] New York.” “I’ve seen many pranks gone wrong at new york. That got me pissed. That’s why I chose New York.”
“I’ll try my best to keep [New York] offline for 14 hours,” ThreatKing said, adding, strangely, that “we would control the Internet if we had enough money. Because each server costs money.”

Of course, his “really bad” experience in New York couldn’t have anything to do with the fact that he’s a prick. And a childish prick at that. New York is not for sissies.

Seems more hackers are shutting down and threatening business they do not like, Ashley Madison comes to mind, they are even taking over cars, Jeep and Chrysler, China hackers stealing information and plenty of other examples! It is getting nuts out there!

Exactly, just heard on The Hill that hackers are targeting Planned Parenthood, hope the people working there will be safe! We all know what happen the last time someone, cough, (Bill O’Reilly) had a hand in PP!

Yes indeed. Many here applauded Anonymous when they went after the Klan. Yes, it was fun and entertaining but really, seriously, we can’t have self-appointed vigilantes running around violating the Constitutional rights of those with whom they disagree.
The fuzz needs to be rounding up enough o them to where getting busted and becoming a guest of the state for a long time is more likely than it is today.
