Grimes admits to blackmail and DDOS in interview
Facebook post
During an interview to vanity fair, the space cyborg-fairy admitted some actions against the hipster runoff. Hipster Runoff was a one-man blog that ran from 2007 to 2013, specializing in criticism of culture and music, hated by its high-profile targets, the site mysteriously went down in 2012, and although it came back, it never recovered and was sold.
Grimes, recently claimed she hacked the site and destroyed its backups after photos of her at a party appeared on the site and went viral. In 2012, Hipster Runoff ran a photo of Grimes kissing another woman. This pissed her off enough to attack the site and shut it down.
“Back in the day, before the woke era, I actually got canceled for this, I was trying to be, all integrity, and start my career, and it was like ‘Grimes Gone Wild’ or something, and it was just this like, super wack, mean story…” she says. A friend, who worked for a video game company, helped her with a DDOS attack against the site and “basically blackmail them,” she said. “We were like, we’re not gonna let you put your site back up until you take the story down. And he did in fact take the story down, and it was like, my coolest hacker moment.”
