A message purportedly posted by hackers has appeared on the Daily Stormer, a neo-Nazi website, saying the site has been taken over in response to a post criticising a woman who died during violence at far-right rally in Virginia over the weekend.
The post on the website’s homepage said the international hacking network Anonymous had taken control of the site, which was founded and is edited by Andrew Anglin, who endorsed Donald Trump for president.
On Sunday Anglin published an article criticising Heather Heyer, who was killed at a white supremacist march in Charlottesville, Virginia, on Saturday.
The web-hosting company GoDaddy said on Sunday it had given the Daily Stormer 24 hours to move its domain to another provider, after the article denigrating Heyer was published.
Your Anon News, one of the biggest Anonymous-linked Twitter accounts, said on Monday it did not think the hack of the Daily Stormer had been perpetrated by an established member.
“We have no confirmation that ‘Anonymous’ is involved yet,” it wrote on Twitter.
