Hackers defaced the Comcast.net site at around 11:00pm EST on Wednesday, May 28, 2008. As of late Thursday afternoon, the site was still experiencing problems.
According to posts in a forum, customer service was called and the customer was told the site is down for "routine maintenance."
The two hackers are teenagers that claim to be from the group "Kryogeniks". It is unclear the the intention that the hackers had when they broke into the system.
The teens are awaiting arrest.
