The DC.gov hacker says he could soon strike again.
“We might have something for DC.gov very soon and Mayor Gray,” a hacker who identified himself as Cosmo Jones said in an email to The Washington Examiner.
A spokesman for D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray declined to comment on the threat, citing the sensitivity of the situation.
The same hacker, part of the Underground Nazi hacker collective, previously claimed responsibility for repeated attacks on District websites last month. The group also said it was behind shutdowns of the websites of New York City’s municipal government, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Department of Justice and credit card giant Visa.
“We attacked DC.gov because we do not like the way the government addresses the Internet. They act as if we have no input whatsoever, and they will pay for that,” he told The Examiner in April.
Since then, city officials said they have significantly enhanced their Internet security protocols, and the FBI has acknowledged that it was reviewing the case.
