    Buried for fake word usage.
  • mitchellmckenna, on 05/24/2009, -9/+98+1 congratulatory e-mail heading to kryogenicsdefiant@gmail.com right now!
  • jedisushi, on 05/29/2008, -3/+69***** IT WE'LL DoS IT LIVE!!!
  • digitalpencil, on 05/29/2008, -2/+63would have been a bit better if they replaced the front page with a spoof comcast ad, touting the merits of their throttled-to-***** service.
  • lostdiggacct, on 05/29/2008, -0/+56God Damnit, my head hurts from reading some of these retarded comments.
  • cultist667, on 05/29/2008, -6/+59U got shaped!
  • diggit83, on 05/29/2008, -1/+45"I CANT CLICK IT THERE IS NO LINK THERE....."
    "What does that mean KRYOGENIKS EBK and DEFIANT RoXed COMCAST"
  • freezerburn666, on 05/29/2008, -0/+42i dont care who did it, comcast can suck a dick.
  • slapded, on 05/29/2008, -9/+47screenshots or it didnt happen
  • badassninja, on 05/29/2008, -1/+33Oh.. That's Comcastic.
  • jmreid, on 05/29/2008, -3/+34***** IT, WE'LL DO IT LIVE.
  • krinthekuz, on 09/16/2008, -5/+35why is there a question mark at the end of this title?
  • inactive, on 05/29/2008, -12/+41I would call it "Attack of the Geeks". Comcast users to comcast: "Here you go bit**h" for throttling bandwidth [hacked].
  • leerayIG88, on 05/29/2008, -7/+36Comcast 0 ..... Kryogeniks EBK and Defiant 1
  • funkyloki, on 05/29/2008, -2/+30It goes to a website that attempts to install a "codec" on to your system, so you can watch the video. Did not grant the install permission, so I have no idea what the video is. I am sure the codec is probably some malware. Avoid.
  • Canadian0207, on 05/29/2008, -1/+27If they had to do it in under a minute with a gun to their heads while getting head, then i'd give them uber-props. For now, a general props will suffice
  • TomFrost, on 05/29/2008, -1/+24Script kiddie? Sure, the message they put on their page could have made a much larger statement than "lol we were herez", but whenever you find a *script* to alter the Whois info for a domain, let me know.
  • TheLD, on 05/29/2008, -4/+26These guys are heroes, not *****. However, I bet they have unjustly defaced other sites in the past.
  • coollettuce, on 05/29/2008, -4/+24;-(
  • Kronk42583, on 05/29/2008, -6/+25ten bucks says someone in the tech dept at comcast shouted "rabbit... flu shot!!!!"
  • ligyron, on 05/29/2008, -2/+21Because it's speculation of the motive behind the attack...
  • ortucis, on 05/29/2008, -8/+27“KRYOGENIKS EBK and DEFIANT RoXed COMCAST.”

    Hacked by retards? Tragedy.
  • IkariGendou, on 05/29/2008, -0/+18Reported!

    Kudos indeed.
  • kidd3ckz, on 05/29/2008, -0/+18In mommy's basement :P
  • inactive, on 05/29/2008, -1/+19Show me a "script kiddie" that can manage to break into a big ass website and get the ability to change content...

    I'd say they're pretty damn good.
  • eviljolly, on 05/29/2008, -0/+18Changing DNS records requires much more social engineer than "hacking" in most cases.
  • cjflashman, on 05/29/2008, -0/+17Freewebs Mirror = Dead

    Imageshack or it didnt happen.
  • doodirock2, on 05/29/2008, -4/+21If you use comcast as your main email provider then you fail at life.....
  • Shreyasva, on 05/29/2008, -18/+35PWNED
  • daEvan, on 05/29/2008, -0/+16About that "Woosh" sound you heard go over your head...
  • spyder91, on 05/29/2008, -2/+17At first I though the poster misspelled "payback". Then I realized there was no chance to hit the wrong keys or misspell to that degree and the person's just an idiot.
  • rudavis, on 05/29/2008, -4/+19Why not digg a comcast link that resides on their bandwith throttling server. See if they can throttle the digg effect.

    -throttle this...
  • SinisterBunni, on 05/29/2008, -1/+16it is malware!! i hope jikomino intestines fall out of his ass.
  • Raziel66, on 05/29/2008, -4/+18They hacked the WEBSITE, not the SERVICE. Two different things. Now go do your job and fix their *****.
  • hijinks, on 05/29/2008, -1/+15they should of replaced the frontpage with a FIOS video
  • smittytech, on 05/29/2008, -1/+15Comcast Blows...I'm surprised you could check your email before.
  • anemptygun, on 05/29/2008, -0/+13mirror down?
  • Chirp08, on 05/29/2008, -3/+16I hate paying 60 bucks a month for high speed internet only to have my legit legal downloads through an extremely efficient technology throttle to dial-up speeds.
  • bullhead2007, on 05/29/2008, -4/+17If I was a comcast customer I would be worried that these guys might have sensitive information. However, it's more likely that Comcast just has an inept web admin who had "God" as his password, which allowed them to hack the Gibson.
  • seandfeeney, on 05/29/2008, -6/+18they mirrored it http://www.freewebs.com/kryogeniks911/

    thx :)

    Do not go to that site, It attempts to run c-setup.exe and on my -ahem- windows machine [currently on linux] it didnt do *****. Did not let me watch the video and the c-setup.exe app dosent even load itself in memory for longer then ten seconds. The network was not used by that app. And the registry wasnt edited to add that to "Run" or even "Runonce"! You ***** fail at making Virii
