[BBL2014]Cyber Attack on Revere Candidate

Not long aftr Corey Abrams announced that he was running for a seat on the Revere City Council, an unidentified caller threatened to post pornography on a site that the caller had created and called "coreyabrams.com". Unless, Corey Abrams paid the caller for the domain name. Abrams refused and within days, graphic pornographic images appeared on the website, accoding to his campaign manager.

Comment:
"Attorney General Martha Coakley’s office is investigating allegations of extortion and civil rights violations, according to George Rotondo Jr., a four-term Revere city councilor, and Kerri Abrams Rampelberg, who is Abrams’s sister and campaign manager."
