Two hackers took down US cable company Comcast's home page and website for over five hours yesterday in protest at the "shitty service" of the "huge corporation".
The pair, known as "Defiant" and "EBK", today gave an interview to Wired magazine about their motivations for the hack and how they achieved it.
Defiant, 19, whose real name is James, told Wired: "The situation has kind of blown up here, a lot bigger than I thought it would. I wish I was a minor right now because this is going to be really bad."
The defacement message said: "KRYOGENICS Defiant and EBK RoXed Comcast. sHouTz to VIRUS Warlock elul21 coll1er seven."
They changed the contact information for Comcast.net to "Dildo Room" at "69 Dick Tard Lane."
However, the pair say they did not violate customer data, a fact that Comcast has reportedly confirmed.
