Hacker Shuts Down New York Magazine's Website Over Bill Cosby Rape Cover Story





                            

                     





People say Bill Cosby has a hand in this because few hours after the story broke their official website was abruptly taken offline by an anonymous hacker. The hacker, known only as ThreatKing, said he did not care about Bill Cosby but hates the 'many stupid people' of New York.

In an interview with an online media, ThreatKing said he 'overwhelmed the site with a distributed denial of service attack' which overloaded its servers with traffic. He also states that he dislike NYC.

"I’ve seen many pranks gone wrong at New York. That got me pissed. That’s why I chose New York. I went to new York 2 months ago. It was really bad. 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."

He further maintained that he plans to continue instigating similar attacks on other New York media outlets. "I’ll try my best to keep [New York] offline for 14 hours. We would control the Internet if we had enough money. Because each server costs money."
