Hackers claim responsibility for Super Bowl power outage

Hackers and hacktivists associated with Anonymous have attempted to claim responsibility for Sunday night’s power outage at the Super Bowl that left fans and teams in the dark for over 30 minutes.

Screenshots posted to Twitter by the account @RustleLeague show a program allegedly used to control the lights at the events.

Rustle League is a band of hacktivist Internet trolls loosely affiliated with the Anonymous collective.

“Just to confirm, here is a screenshot of the program we hijacked that is used to control the lights,” said the account.

Another caption for a separate picture tweeted by the account read, “Last screenshot was set up for color schemes, here are the actual light controls.”

The remainder of Rustle League’s account, however, is filled with numerous falsehoods, putting the credibility of the group’s claims in question.

The New Orleans Super Bowl Host Committee did not return The Daily Caller’s request for comment by the time of publication.
