Hackers Claim They Warned Comcast First

[Osiris]

I am not sure which is worse, the fact that Comcast was warned before the hack and ignored it or that they were hacked by a couple pothead kids. That has to hurt. On the flipside, the hackers gave away a ton of information about themselves in the interview, don’t be surprised if an arrest is made fairly soon.

Then, they say, they contacted Comcast's original technical contact at his home number to tell him what they'd done. When the Comcast manager scoffed at their claim and hung up on them, 18-year-old EBK decided to take the more drastic measure of redirecting the site's traffic to servers under their control. (Comcast would neither confirm nor deny the warning phone call.)

Kinda Dumb on theyre part though, Huh? Did they expect this guy to be cruising the Comcast halls on rollerblades, slurping a RedBull, with an XPS in his backpack? The guys probably 90! Knows how to make money, not that theres anything wrong with that.
They coulda thought of someone better to call.
