And they say that these milennials have no moxie. Yesterday, we linked to a piece about Comcast.net getting hacked on Wednesday night, and just a day later a story that we couldn’t even make up has emerged. Who exactly would do such a thing? Why, it’s quite obvious: Disgruntled Comcast customers. Wired.com scored an exclusive interview with one of the teenage hackers, EBK (pictured is his alleged co-conspirator, Defiant, bogarting that shit) and found this out:

However they got in, the intrusion gave the pair control of over 200 domain names owned by Comcast. They changed the contact information for one of them, Comcast.net, to Defiant’s e-mail address; for the street address, they used the “Dildo Room” at “69 Dick Tard Lane.”
Comcast, they said, noticed the administrative transfer and wrested back control, forcing the hackers to repeat the exploit to regain ownership of the domain. 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.)
“If he wasn’t such a prick, he could have avoided all of that,” says EBK. “I wasn’t even really thinking. Plus, I’m just so mad at Comcast. I’m tired of their shitty service.”

Holy mother of God I love this story, and I love these fine young gentlemen. Thank you, Internet God.
