http://www.wthr.com/story/28633509/hackers-shut-down-state-website-in-response-to-rfra#Target IN.GOV #OFFLINE #Vikingdom2015 #OpIndiana Knocked it down for @xxdjsethxx "
The action was in response to a tweet by user @xxdjsethxx that read, "Since Indiana's Gov decided to sign the religious bill allowing to discriminate it's time for #OPIndiana to start." The entry included a link to a post by blogger Perez Hilton about Governor Mike Pence's signing of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act on Thursday.
Seven minutes later, @YourVikingdom tweeted directly to the state.
"@IN_gov enjoy your website being #OFFLINE @Vikingdom2015," they said.
The website appeared to be back up around 3 p.m.
A spokesperson for the Indiana Office of Technology described it as a "denial of service attack." That is when an outside person or group inundates a website with so much traffic, its servers can't keep up and the website ends up loading more slowly for anyone logging on. In extreme cases, like Friday, the website won't load at all.

(67,032 posts)Discrimination is treating someone differently than someone else. However, not all discrimination is against the law. Only different treatment of a person on account of his or her race, color, national origin, ancestry, religion, sex, age or disability is unlawful according to state and federal civil rights laws. In order to establish such a violation of law, there must be evidence that an employee who is, say, female is being treated less favorably than a male employee UNDER SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES. So if the male and female are both frequently 5 minutes late to work, but only the female is disciplined, this could indicate unlawful discrimination.
From their website when working.
So, Bigotry is just fine in Indiana, just gotta choose the right flavor. A pit of a state IMO.
