The story about the Anonymous-hack of the Daily Stormer doesn't add up.

Shortly after being informed by host GoDaddy that their neo-Nazi website is being taken down, The Daily Stormer suddenly posted an article purporting to come from the hacktivist group Anonymous.

...

Then, early on Monday morning, The Daily Stormer suddenly released a post claiming to come from Anonymous.

...

THIS SITE IS NOW UNDER THE CONTROL OF ANONYMOUS

WE HAVE TAKEN THIS SITE IN THE NAME OF HEATHER HEYER A VICTIM OF WHITE SUPREMACIST TERRORISM

FOR TOO LONG THE DAILY STORMER AND ANDREW ANGLIN HAVE SPEWED THEIR PUTRID HATE ON THIS SITE

THAT WILL NOT BE HAPPENING ANYMORE

WE HAVE ALL OF THE DETAILS ON THE SERVERS AND WILL BE RELEASING THE DATA WHEN WE FEEL THE TIME IS RIGHT

WE HAVE ALSO GATHERED LOCATIONAL DATA ON ANGLIN HIMSELF AND ARE SENDING OUR ALLIES IN LAGOS TO PAY HIM A VISIT IN PERSON

THIS EVIL CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO STAND

IT TOOK A UNITED FORCE OF ELITE HACKERS FROM AROUND THE WORLD TO BREACH THE SYSTEMS AND THE FIREWALL

WE HAVE HAD THE DAILY STORMER IN OUR SITES FOR MONTHS NOW

THE EVENTS OF CHARLOTTESVILLE ALERTED US TO THE NEED FOR IMMEDIATE ACTION

WE WANT YOU NAZIS TO KNOW: YOUR TIME IS SHORT

WE WILL ALLOW THE SITE TO REMAIN ONLINE FOR 24 HOURS SO THE WORLD CAN WITNESS THE HATE

THEN WE WILL SHUT IT DOWN

PERMANENTLY

HACKERS OF THE WORLD HAVE UNITED IN DEFENSE OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE

YOU SHOULD HAVE EXPECTED US

No member of Anonymous has yet claimed credit for the attack, with one prominent Anonymous Twitter account openly speculating that the hack is in fact a hoax.



----------------

Anonymous has contacts with local thugs in Lagos?
It took a united force of elite-hackers from around the world to breach the systems and the firewall of some standard website???
Anonymous doesn't know how to spell "sights"?????
Anonymous will permanently shut down the site exactly when GoDaddy is permanently shutting down the site???????

And that whole "hackers of the world unite in defense of the jewish people" strongly reeks of the conspiracy-theory that the Jews are the masterminds of some world-wide network of evil-doers.

2. Looks that way to me too...

They suddenly had a need to blame someone else once they realized how difficult it will be to find a new home for their poison.

3. Who describes themselves as "a united force of elite hackers

from around the world?"

I am reminded of the "small foreign faction" that kidnapped JonBenet Ramsey.

4. It's just a group of Nazis playing the victim card n/t

5. All lies. No truth comes from these racists. They must get it from their hero, trump.
