Comcast Hackers Crack Us Up

2008_5_29.comcast.jpgWired's blog Threat Level has an interview with "Defiant" and "EBK," the hackers who took down Comcast yesterday. They say they did it because they hate Comcast.

However they got in, the intrusion gave the pair control of over 200 domain names owned by Comcast. They changed the contact information for one of them, Comcast.net, to Defiant's e-mail address; for the street address, they used the "Dildo Room" at "69 Dick Tard Lane."

Baaaahahaaha. Feel however you feel about hacking, Comcast, whatever: "Dick Tard Lane" is hilarious. [Wired]
