The daily stormer gets pwnd by Anonymous

Neo-Nazi Internet users are learning the hard way that developers don’t like their kind. According to The Verge, the former Daily Stormer reappeared online earlier on Thursday under the name “Punished Stormer,” only to be subject to denial-of-service attacks by the group Anonymous. It appears that the site was hosted by the company DreamHost, and some users noticed that GoDaddy (the site that kicked the original Daily Stormer off their hosting platform last week) sold the site’s owners the PunishedStormer.com domain name. Thursday’s hack appears to be the first time Anonymous has actually hacked the Daily Stormer, although they claimed the group hacked them last week to save face when Google and GoDaddy kicked them off their servers.
