UK: Hacker vows to continue making Network Warrington site unavailable until price hike statement made

Posted on September 10, 2015 by Dissent

The Warrington Guardian reports that the municipal bus operator, Network Warrington, has been targeted with DDoS attacks in protest for an unexplained rate hike:

An anonymous hacker has vowed to continue taking down Network Warrington‘s website until a statement is made on why it increased bus fares.

The Warrington resident, known as Grey, claims to have carried out a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) on networkwarrington.com twice in the past month, one lasting around four hours.

Grey also claims to have carried out work on the Warrington Collegiate and Warrington Borough Council sites.
