Anonymous Hackers: We Didn’t Take Down Daily Storm Site
Post atop white-supremacy site boasts hacker group had taken control.

Leaders of the hacking collective Anonymous are denying reports that they hijacked the notorious white-supremacist website The Daily Stormer early Monday. A post near the top of the site declares “End of Hate: Anonymous Now in Control of Daily Stormer” next to an image of the hackers’ signature Guy Fawkes mask. Your Anon News, a Twitter account linked to Anonymous, posted statements suggesting the hate site itself was perpetuating a hoax to draw attention in the hours after its domain host GoDaddy gave it 24 hours before it was shut down for its ugly coverage of the Charlottesville white-supremacist attack Saturday. The Daily Beast previously reported on GoDaddy’s willingness to host the controversial site.
We have no confirmation that "Anonymous" is involved yet. Looks more like a DS stunt. Wonder if they are having issues finding a new host. https://t.co/ikXXRBfC5p

If goal of Daily Stormer was to get us to celebrate a BS claim, it backfired. Seriously, suck less.
