Website For Montauk Manor Possibly Hacked by ISIS

The website for the historic Montauk Manor appeared to have been hacked by the group Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, (ISIS) on Saturday and Sunday.

A black banner reading “Hacked by Islamic State (ISIS)“ and “We Are Everywhere” was seen at the top of the website, according to Newsday.

The website went offline multiples times as the manager of the hotel said the team was working to get it ‘back up and running’ during the day on Sunday, according to 27east.

According to the East Hampton Town Police, the hacking of the Montauk Manor website was not directed specifically at the Manor, and there is no reason to believe there is any direct threat towards the Manor, Montauk or the Town of East Hampton.

The situation appears to be a case of an out of state, internet business that hosts web sites having been hacked, resulting in many businesses around the country experiencing the same issue, police said.

Police could not confirm that the group responsible was in fact ISIS.

The case will be passed on to the FBI.
