KryogenicsWired.com Interviews Purported Comcast HackersAuthored by Mark Hefflinger on May 30, 2008 - 11:09am.
San Francisco - Wired.com on Friday posted an interview with "Defiant" and "EBK," two members of a hacker group called "Kryogenics" that took control of Comcast's (NASD: CMCSA) homepage and Web-based e-mail service for over five hours on Thursday. The attack, which began around 11:00 p.m. Eastern time on Wednesday, left some of Comcast's 14 million subscribers without webmail access until 11:30 Thursday morning. The pair denied the attack was retaliation for Comcast's recently exposed throttling of file-sharing traffic, and said they warned the company before taking action. "Comcast is just a huge corporation, and we wanted to take them out, and we did," Defiant told Wired.com. |
