14 DAY TRIAL // Hackers part of the UGNazi collective, the ones who yesterday attacked the site of New York City, keeping it offline for close to an hour, return. Today, they target not only the site of New York City (nyc.gov), but also the one of the Government of the District of Columbia (dc.gov).
Both sites, dc.gov and nyc.gov, have been down for several hours.
As we suspected yesterday, these aren’t distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) attacks launched simply for “the lulz.” Instead, they are a form of protest against the US government.
“The capital of US is in DC. Seems the government doesn't care about what we think about. The best place to hit them is at there heart,” one of the hackers told us, referring to the attack on dc.gov.
“We will also be launching more attacks on other government websites,” Cosmo added.
